Wavetronix SmartSensors and accessories

The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), specifically for the Fort Worth District, is seeking to procure Wavetronix SmartSensors and related accessories through Solicitation No. 601310000097831. The procurement focuses on advanced traffic sensor technology, including specific models like the SmartSensor Matrix, SmartSensor Advance Extended Range, SmartSensor Mount, and associated cables and interfaces for traffic management and intersection detection systems. This solicitation is a proprietary procurement under Texas Government Code 2155.067, indicating the specifications are uniquely tailored to Wavetronix products. The bid opens on October 24, 2025, and closes on November 10, 2025, at 3:00 PM Central Time, with a tentative contract award date of November 21, 2025. Vendors must submit electronic responses through the Euna Procurement system, with the delivery location set at 2501 Southwest Loop 820, IH 20 & McCart St., Fort Worth, TX. The deadline for submitting questions is October 27, 2025, with TxDOT's responses to be posted by October 29, 2025. Evaluation will be based on best value criteria, considering factors such as installation costs, life cycle costs, quality, reliability, delivery terms, and potential vendor performance.

The solicitation appears to have no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. Vendors must be registered on the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts' Centralized Master Bidders List (CMBL) and have applicable NIGP class and item codes, with new suppliers encouraged to apply to receive bidding opportunities. The procurement requires strict compliance with various certifications, including verifications of no anti-trust law violations, no improper inducements to public servants, and not being on federal terrorism watch lists. Vendors must also comply with Texas Family Code Section 231.006, which includes disclosing ownership information for entities with at least 25% ownership interest. While no specific budget range or award value is explicitly stated, the comprehensive technical specifications and proprietary nature suggest a potentially significant investment in intelligent transportation infrastructure. The solicitation does not indicate current incumbent vendors or specify integration requirements with existing technology, but emphasizes precise adherence to the provided technical specifications as a critical evaluation criterion.
