AVL Hardware Supply & Installation (GPS Tracking Units)

The contract entails the supply and installation of GPS-based automatic vehicle location hardware on 32 transit buses, requiring sub-six-second data refresh rates to ensure real-time tracking accuracy and operational efficiency. The hardware must be future-proofed to accommodate evolving technology standards and seamlessly integrate with the existing intelligent transportation system without disruption or additional retrofitting. All installations must be performed in compliance with technical specifications that prioritize durability, reliability, and long-term system compatibility. The project is issued as a subcontract under the NAICS code 334510, tied to the Athens-Clarke County Government in Georgia, with a response deadline of September 14, 2026. Performance will occur at locations to be determined within the agency’s transit network, and while no set-aside status is specified, the solicitation is open to qualified contractors capable of delivering and deploying advanced tracking systems under stringent performance requirements. The initiative supports broader mobility goals by enhancing public transit transparency, dispatch accuracy, and system-wide coordination.
