All equipment must be manufactured in the United States, comply with FCC and NEMA standards, and operate reliably across temperature ranges from -29.2°F to 165°F in all-weather conditions. Delivery is required to TxDOT Fort Worth District at 2501 Southwest Loop 820, Fort Worth, TX 76133, between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM Monday through Thursday, with pricing on an F.O.B. destination basis, freight prepaid and allowed. Bidders must submit responses by June 3, 2026, at 3:00 PM Central Time through the Euna Procurement (Bonfire) platform; questions may be submitted through May 22, 2026, with TxDOT's responses posted by May 27, 2026. Award will be made to the vendor offering the best value based on lowest price and ability to meet specifications, with the tentative contract award date of June 17, 2026. Successful respondents may be required to attend a post-award meeting within 10 business days of award notification, and vendor performance will be tracked for contracts of $25,000 or more.

This solicitation contains no set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises, HUB subcontracting plans, or special restrictions limiting eligible respondents, though bidders must be registered on the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Centralized Master Bidders List (CMBL) to be eligible. Respondents must complete and submit the Execution of Bid form certifying compliance with anti-trust laws, terrorism financing prohibitions under Executive Order 13224, and the Texas Family Code Schedule disclosing ownership interests, with failure to submit these documents rendering the response non-responsive. TxDOT has identified preference criteria that may be applied as tie-breakers, including preferences for Texas-produced supplies, agricultural products, service-disabled veteran-owned businesses, and environmentally sensitive or energy-efficient products in accordance with Rule 34TAC 20.306. No minimum quantity guarantees are provided, and the contract is non-exclusive, meaning TxDOT may procure these sensors from other vendors. The solicitation does not identify specific budget ranges or award values, instead allowing price determination through competitive bidding. All bids remain irrevocable for 120 calendar days following the solicitation closing date, and unsuccessful bidders may request a debriefing meeting within 30 calendar days of award posting.
