The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), specifically the Central Texas Collective Division, is soliciting bids for the procurement of a GS3 System with TS2 Module, cameras, and accessories under Solicitation No. 601440000051693, classified under NIGP Class-Item 550-91. The procurement consists of six line items: two GS3 Systems (computer vision processing units manufactured by Cubic Transportation Systems, Inc.), one 1,000-foot spool of CAT5e cable, two Bell Camera Kits with CAT5e, two 84-inch cable brackets, two TS2 cables, and two TS2 modules. The GS3 Processor is a specialized device measuring 8.5" x 12.5" x 3.5", weighing 14 lbs, equipped with multiple connectivity options including USB 3.0, Ethernet, Passive POE ports, and LTE modem capability, operating on 120/240 VAC power with NEMA TS2 environmental standards and Linux operating system. Vendors must submit responses through the Euna Procurement system at https://txdot.bonfirehub.com/, with the question submission deadline of March 17, 2026, TxDOT's response to questions posted by March 19, 2026, and the final bid submission deadline of March 27, 2026, at 3:00 PM Central Time, with a tentative contract award date of May 1, 2026. All pricing must be submitted on an F.O.B. destination basis with freight prepaid and included in unit prices, exclusive of sales tax and federal excise tax. Award determination will be based on lowest price and the respondent's ability to meet specifications, with consideration given to best value criteria including installation costs, life cycle costs, quality and reliability, delivery terms, and vendor past performance. Delivery must be made to TxDOT Headquarters at 6230 East Stassney Lane, Austin, TX 78744 during business hours, and successful respondents may be required to attend a post-award meeting within ten business days of notification.

This solicitation is open to all qualified vendors, though it is advertised as proprietary under Texas Government Code 2155.067, with TxDOT believing the requested items are proprietary to one provider; however, the agency encourages responses from all qualified vendors capable of meeting specifications. Respondents must complete and return mandatory compliance documents including the Texas Family Code Schedule certification (verifying non-delinquency on child support obligations), the Execution of Bid form (certifying accuracy of statements, compliance with federal and state regulations, and non-involvement in terrorist financing activities), and acknowledgment of any associated addenda. Vendors may claim specific bid preferences under Rule 34TAC 20.306 for Texas-produced supplies, service-disabled veteran-owned businesses, environmentally sensitive materials, energy-efficient products, and items from economically depressed areas, with tied bids awarded based on claimed preferences. Additionally, vendors incorporating artificial intelligence functionality must provide detailed explanations of all AI systems, their outputs and functions, data handling procedures, bias mitigation measures, and must provide TxDOT with a minimum of 45 days' notice prior to implementing changes to AI functionality, with TxDOT retaining the right to cancel the contract without penalty if AI functionality fails to comply with its acceptable AI policy. No specific budget range or award value is listed in the solicitation documents, and this is a firm, fixed-price solicitation with no guaranteed minimum quantities or exclusive contract rights, allowing TxDOT to obtain products and related services from other sources.
