AI Contract Overview

Lee County Transit is seeking to procure Genfare Smart Card Bus Passes through a single-source procurement method exclusively from Genfare, LLC, due to the existing integration of Genfare’s Automatic Fare Collection System across all fixed-route buses. The smart cards required include preprogrammed passes with fixed values as well as reloadable cards that customers can fund at transfer stations, the main office, via vending machines, or through a mobile application. The exclusive selection of Genfare is justified by the necessity of maintaining full compatibility with the current fare collection infrastructure, as alternative vendors may use different encoding standards or materials that could disrupt system functionality, cause operational delays, or complicate troubleshooting. Lee County Procurement Management has determined that continuing with Genfare as the sole supplier ensures seamless operation, consistent maintenance, and reliable customer service without introducing technical risks or additional costs associated with system incompatibility. The solicitation is open for review from July 29, 2026, through August 19, 2026, and any interested parties wishing to challenge the single-source determination must contact Kevin Walker at the provided email address.

Full Description

*** THIS IS NOT A BID *** The description of services intended for purchase from a single source is posted in accordance with section 3.9, Procurement Ordinance 25-11, and will be posted for a minimum of 15 business days. Commodity or Service Required: Purchase of Genfare Smart Card Bus Passes Description: Lee County Transit seeks to execute a single-source procurement for smart card bus passes from Genfare, LLC. The smart cards come in a variety of preprogrammed prices that are compatible with the fare collection system for our fixed-route buses. In addition, we also purchase a smart card that can be "loaded" with funds by the customer at our transfer stations and main office, through vending machines, and via a mobile app. Intended Single Source: Genfare, LLC Justification for Single Source Acquisition: Genfare, LLC is the single-source supplier of the equipment in place at Lee County Transit and its related maintenance parts/media/services. The fare collection system currently in place in Lee County Transit is a Genfare Automatic Fare Collection System. Using the same vendor to procure Smart Card Media ensures the media will be compatible with the existing fare collection system and fare structure. Using a different vendor to provide media could lead to issues relating to understanding how the system is configured and could lead to increased times and standstills in different troubleshooting efforts if the procured media is not encoded with the correct formats or made from the proper material to interact with the fare collection equipment. Recommended Procurement Approach: For the reason(s) stated above, Lee County Procurement Management intends to utilize the Single-Source Procurement method to purchase from Genfare, LLC to supply the above. Respond to: If your firm feels they have the ability to supply the above, please contact Kevin Walker, Lee County Procurement Management at for review.
