Semi Portable Scales-CVE

The Texas Department of Public Safety's Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Service is seeking to procure semi-portable commercial motor vehicle (CMV) weighing scales to enhance roadway safety and enforcement capabilities. These scales are intended to be used at roadside locations where permanent weigh stations are unavailable or impractical, allowing enforcement personnel to accurately identify overweight and improperly loaded vehicles. This capability is crucial in preventing the risks associated with operating overweight vehicles, such as mechanical failures and increased crash likelihood. By using these semi-portable scales, the department aims to improve the detection of unsafe weight conditions before they contribute to accidents or infrastructure damage. The solicitation for these scales, titled "Semi Portable Scales-CVE," was posted on April 15, 2026, with responses due by April 30, 2026. The procurement falls under the jurisdiction of the Texas Department of Public Safety, operating within the state of Texas. The primary point of contact for this solicitation is John Peyton, who can be reached via email or phone. This purchase supports the department’s commitment to protecting Texas roadways and infrastructure through enhanced enforcement tools.
