Real Time Digital Alert Addition to Geotab Units

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) has initiated a Single Feasible Source (SFS) solicitation for the procurement of a Real Time Digital Alert Addition to Geotab Units, specifically seeking a system compatible with existing Geotab Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL) units in their fleet. MoDOT has determined that only HAAS, Inc. can provide the required system, with BlueArrow Telematics Inc. identified as the sole authorized HAAS distributor compatible with their existing Geotab AVL units. The solicitation, numbered SFS605CO22001270, covers the procurement period from January 13, 2022, to January 21, 2022, with a contract period from March 16, 2022, to March 15, 2023. Bids must be submitted electronically through the MissouriBUYS system, or via mail, UPS, or FedEx by January 21, 2022, at 2:00 PM CST. The evaluation criteria include pricing assessment, vendor responsibility, and compliance with mandatory specifications, with the award being made to the lowest and best responsive bid that meets all requirements.

The solicitation encourages participation from Minority Business Enterprises (MBE) and Women Business Enterprises (WBE), with target participation rates of 10% MBE and 5% WBE through subcontractors, suppliers, or joint ventures. Payment terms are set at Net 30 days with Free On Board Destination delivery terms, and vendors must be registered and in good standing with the Missouri Secretary of State and Department of Revenue. No specific award value or budget range is explicitly stated in the documentation. The procurement is limited to HAAS, Inc. and BlueArrow Telematics Inc. due to the proprietary nature of the system and its compatibility with MoDOT's existing Geotab AVL infrastructure. The solicitation follows Missouri's Single Feasible Source procurement regulations under 7 CSR 10-11.020, which allows for non-competitive procurement when supplies are proprietary and only available from a specific manufacturer or distributor.
