Vision testers

The California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) Administrative Services Division is issuing Request for Quotation (RFQ #150442) for the procurement of 16 vision testers to be distributed across 13 different DMV field office locations throughout the state. The vision testers must meet specific technical requirements, including measuring static visual acuity in both eyes and individually at acuity levels of 20/40, 20/50, 20/70, and 20/100, with a mandatory 95% accuracy rate. Each device must have a warm-up period under 30 seconds, weigh no more than 20 pounds with its case, and be capable of performing precise vision screening functions. The solicitation follows a competitive (advertised) procurement method with bid submissions due by March 14, 2016, and evaluation scheduled for March 15, 2016. Vendor requirements include providing a minimum two-year warranty on parts and labor, comprehensive training, and necessary documentation, with shipping costs to be included in the item price.

The Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) program requirement has been waived for this specific solicitation, which allows for broader vendor participation. Bidders must complete several mandatory certifications, including the Darfur Contracting Act Certification and DVBE Declarations if applicable. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the procurement will be awarded to the lowest-cost vendor that meets all technical specifications and compliance requirements. The solicitation covers device delivery to multiple DMV field offices, with individual location quantities ranging from 1-2 units. Vendors must carefully review all technical specifications and ensure their proposed vision testers fully comply with the DMV's precise performance and operational requirements to be considered for award.
