SENSOR, SAFE IR OPTICAL FLAME - ref 2098042

Dallas County, acting through the Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority (DART), is seeking to procure a Safe IR Optical Flame Sensor (Reference Number 2098042). This is a goods procurement for a specialized sensing device, with the purchase order posted on April 27, 2026, and a response deadline of April 30, 2026. Vendors must comply with strict delivery schedules, as timeliness is considered essential to the contract, and failure to meet delivery commitments constitutes grounds for rejection and default termination. All supplied goods must undergo vendor-performed inspections and testing to verify conformance to specifications and technical drawings prior to delivery. The seller is required to warrant that all supplies are of merchantable quality, suitable for their intended purpose, and comply with all product descriptions and specifications, with coverage provided under the most favorable commercial warranties offered to any customer. Payment terms stipulate that invoices submitted in triplicate will be compensated within 30 days of invoice receipt or order receipt, whichever is later, with invoices requiring inclusion of the purchase order number, item description, quantities, unit prices, and extended totals. The purchase order price includes all applicable federal, state, and local taxes and duties.

Vendors responding to this procurement must maintain equal opportunity employment practices, certify non-involvement with foreign terrorist organizations, and certify non-boycott of Israel in compliance with DART's contractual requirements. No specific set-aside designations, incumbent vendors, technology integration requirements, or award values are detailed in the available procurement documentation. The contract will be governed by Texas law with venue established in Dallas County, and the Contracting Officer retains authority to terminate the order for default or for convenience. Any disputes will be resolved through a structured appeals process, with DART maintaining final authority unless a court determines the decision to be fraudulent, capricious, arbitrary, or unsupported by substantial evidence. Interested vendors should note that DART is exempt from Texas state and local sales and use taxes, and all contract modifications must be executed in writing by the Contracting Officer.
