Real Time Digital Alert Addition to Geotab Units

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) is conducting a Single Feasible Source (SFS) procurement for a Real Time Digital Alert System compatible with existing Geotab Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL) Units installed in their fleet. The solicitation, numbered SFS605CO24001358, has identified HAAS, Inc. as the sole source capable of providing the required system, with BlueArrow Telematics Inc. being the only authorized HAAS distributor with the necessary compatibility. The procurement seeks to add a digital alert system that integrates with MoDOT's current vehicle tracking infrastructure, with specific requirements for proprietary and compatible technology additions. The solicitation period runs from January 10, 2024, at 11:00:00 AM CST to January 17, 2024, at 2:00:00 PM CST, with the contract period set for March 16, 2024, to March 15, 2025. Vendors must submit responses electronically through the MissouriBUYS eProcurement system, with pricing to be evaluated based on the lowest and best bid that meets all mandatory requirements. MoDOT reserves the right to waive minor irregularities and reject any or all bids during the evaluation process.

The solicitation encourages participation from Minority Business Enterprises (MBE) and Women Business Enterprises (WBE), with goals of 10% and 5% respectively through subcontractors, suppliers, joint ventures, or other arrangements. While no specific incumbent vendor is identified beyond HAAS, Inc. and BlueArrow Telematics Inc., the procurement is open to all vendors who can demonstrate the ability to supply the required commodities or services. The existing infrastructure consists of Geotab AVL Units, which will require precise compatibility with the new digital alert system. No estimated total contract value is provided in the solicitation documents. Vendors must comply with various state requirements, including the Domestic Products Procurement Act, E-Verify participation, and regulations concerning the employment of unauthorized aliens. The procurement follows Missouri's Single Feasible Source procedures under 7 CSR 10-11.020(5)(A)(2), which allows for sole source procurement when supplies are proprietary and only available from a single manufacturer or distributor.
