RFB-605-2700000067-4 | LED Modules

Solicitation RFB-605-2700000067-4 is a request for bid issued by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) for the procurement of various traffic signal LED modules and arrow signals. The procurement process is structured as a two-phase multistep competitive sealed bid and online reverse auction. In the first phase, vendors must submit unpriced technical offers through the Kentucky Vendor Self Service (VSS) portal. Pricing is only accepted during the second phase via an online reverse auction event. The solicitation has undergone multiple modifications to update commodity specifications and add line items, with a final response deadline of September 8, 2026. Compliance requirements are stringent, requiring vendors to provide a Non-Collusion Certification and a Build America, Buy America (BABA) Act certification to ensure manufacturing processes meet federal and state standards. KYTC maintains strict quality control, reserving the right to require sample modules for visual inspection and to engage independent laboratories for quality assurance testing. Failure of two or more sample units to meet specifications can lead to the rejection of all units for that line item, the voiding of the contract, or the assessment of liquidated damages. Awarded vendors must also maintain specific insurance coverages and adhere to the Equal Employment Opportunity Act of 1978 for contracts exceeding 500,000 dollars.
