Purchase of CUBIC/Trafficware and GRIDSMART Products, Support and Service/ Repairs

This solicitation (S26-0436), issued by the City of Orlando Procurement and Contracts Division, seeks the purchase of CUBIC/Trafficware and GRIDSMART products along with associated support, service, and repair. The procurement is conducted as a sole source, with Cubic ITS Inc. identified as the exclusive supplier and authorized service provider for these traffic management systems within Florida. The contract encompasses the supply, installation, integration, ongoing maintenance, and technical support of proprietary hardware and software solutions developed and maintained solely by Cubic ITS. This exclusivity underpins the sole source justification, and while the solicitation invites competing vendors to submit qualifications and capability statements by May 18, 2026, no other suppliers currently meet the necessary authorization criteria. Key administrative details include a public notice period of seven days during which potential competitors may respond, submission of proposals exclusively via email to the designated Purchasing Agent, Nodir Sadikov, and the absence of explicit federal acquisition clauses or contract types in the documentation. The solicitation references no specific packaging, inspection criteria, performance periods, pricing, or detailed evaluation factors. The place of performance and acceptance is within Florida, coordinated through Orlando. Although contract value and payment instructions are not disclosed, the vendor is responsible for full lifecycle product and service delivery, while the City maintains oversight as the contracting authority. The lack of standard FAR clauses or structured proposal requirements reflects the sole source nature of the procurement, emphasizing proprietary specifications and vendor exclusivity rather than competitive evaluation.
