To purchase an automated thermal inspection system for the santa teresa, NM port of entry.

The New Mexico Department of Public Safety (DPS), specifically the New Mexico State Police (NMSP) Commercial Vehicle Enforcement (CVE), is seeking to procure an Automated Thermal Inspection System (ATIS) for two specific Port of Entry locations: San Jon and Santa Teresa. This procurement is a sole-source contract with Drivewyze, LTD, who will provide and install the ATIS to be integrated with existing Smart Roadside Inspection Systems (SRIS) for comprehensive commercial motor vehicle (CMV) screening. The primary objective of the system is to automatically screen and recognize malfunctioning running-gear on passing commercial vehicles without human intervention, enhancing roadside safety and inspection capabilities. The contract is structured for a one-year term, with a posted date of January 23, 2025, and a proposal due date of February 23, 2025. The ATIS will demonstrate high-performance metrics, including 94% decode rates for CVSA decal readers, 93% for Hazmat placard readers, 90% detection rate for thermal inspections, and 96% truck identification decode rate.

The procurement is specifically designated as a sole-source contract, meaning only Drivewyze, LTD can respond due to their status as the original manufacturer of the SRIS system installed in 2009 and their unique ability to provide compatible ATIS integration. No specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are mentioned in the documentation. The existing infrastructure includes SRIS currently operating at 15 New Mexico Port of Entry locations, which the new ATIS will complement and enhance. The contract value is fixed at $270,000 with no applicable taxes, covering the purchase and installation of the thermal inspection system. The justification for the sole-source procurement emphasizes that no alternative vendors can provide the required system integration without significant customization or risking disruption to critical public safety functions. The contract will serve Sandoval County and is specifically focused on improving commercial vehicle inspection capabilities at state ports of entry.
