Traffic Signal Controller Assemblies for the TxDOT Fort Worth District.

The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), specifically the Fort Worth District, is seeking procurement of 60 traffic signal controller assemblies through Solicitation No. 601310000097042, a re-advertisement of a previous solicitation. The procurement focuses on NEMA TS/2 Type 2 controllers with SDLC and ABC connectors, manufactured by Yunex Traffic (model 8132-0000-153), which must meet highly specific technical requirements outlined in Departmental Materials Specification DMS-11170. The solicitation requires a comprehensive, fully actuated, solid-state traffic signal controller unit designed for complex intersection management, with rigorous standards for hardware and software functionality. Vendors must submit responses through the TxDOT Procurement Portal at https://txdot.bonfirehub.com/ by August 28, 2025, at 3:00 PM Central Time, with a tentative contract award date of August 29, 2025. Evaluation criteria will prioritize purchase price and the ability to meet precise technical specifications, with additional consideration given to vendor performance history. Delivery of the controllers will be to 2501 Southwest Loop 820 in Fort Worth, Texas, with delivery restricted to 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM Monday through Friday, excluding state and federal holidays.

The solicitation appears to have no specific set-aside designations, but it does emphasize compliance with various state regulations, including provisions for historically underutilized businesses (HUB). Vendors must be registered on the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts' Centralized Master Bidders List (CMBL) and have appropriate NIGP class and item codes. Potential respondents must complete multiple compliance certifications, including verifications related to anti-trust laws, terrorism watch lists, and child support obligations for owners with at least 25% business interest. The procurement is structured as a proprietary acquisition under Texas Government Code 2155.067, with TxDOT believing the requested items are proprietary to a specific provider. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the solicitation indicates a focus on best value procurement. Vendors must also be prepared for potential state audits and acknowledge that payments may be applied to any outstanding state debts.
