Edge Computing Hardware Supply

The contract seeks the supply of ruggedized, weatherproof edge computing devices designed for deployment at roadside locations to enable local AI inference with low latency and high reliability. These devices must withstand harsh environmental conditions including extreme temperatures, moisture, dust, and vibration, ensuring continuous operation in unattended outdoor settings. The hardware must support real-time processing of video and sensor data without reliance on cloud connectivity, making local computational capability essential for mission-critical applications such as traffic monitoring, incident detection, and adaptive signal control. The procurement is structured as a subcontract under NAICS code 334111, indicating the focus on computer and peripheral equipment manufacturing, and is being managed by the Missouri Department of Transportation’s St. Louis District. Responses are due by August 17, 2026, with the solicitation posted on August 10, 2026. All devices must be capable of seamless integration with existing transportation infrastructure systems and meet strict performance benchmarks for uptime, data throughput, and thermal management. The place of performance is not specified but implies deployment across Missouri’s highway network. Suppliers are expected to demonstrate proven experience with durable edge systems in transportation environments and to provide technical support and maintenance protocols aligned with state operational standards.
