Notice of Intent/Due Diligence Post - Dearbon/Synercon

The Massachusetts Department of State Police is posting a Notice of Intent to purchase specialized engine diagnostic equipment from Dearbon/Synercon, with responses due October 9, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. EST; if no competing vendors respond within the 14-day posting period, MSP intends to award a contract directly to the incumbent.

The scope comprises three proprietary, patent-protected items: an FLA adapter, a Synercon Smart Sensor Simulator 2 System (Engine Kit), and TruckCRYPT software. These products are designed to attach to commercial vehicle motors or dashboards to capture and forensically analyze vehicle data for use by Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Investigators in truck crash investigations.

The estimated contract value for fiscal year 2027 is $50,658, with fiscal year 2028 pricing to be quoted separately. The contract term does not exceed two years, after which MSP will issue a Request for Response if additional purchases are needed. The incumbent vendor is Dearbon/Synercon, whose renewal quote forms the basis of the estimated value.

Competing vendors must respond via COMMBUYS to demonstrate qualifications and pricing options. If responses are received, MSP will make a best value determination and may accept the incumbent's offer, decline it and proceed to competitive procurement, accept an offer from another vendor providing comparable or better value, or accept multiple offers of similar value. All responding vendors must register with COMMBUYS and comply with Commonwealth standard forms and requirements, including IT terms and conditions, prompt payment discounts, taxpayer identification, and authorization for electronic funds transfer prior to award.
