SignalFire Wireless Telemetry Products

The City of Austin is seeking to procure SignalFire Wireless Telemetry equipment, specifically the RANGER-STD-4DPak-Int-2AI1DI-SFCloud1-N-STD-N and RANGER-Pressure-4DPak-Int-PSI500-SFCloud1-N-STD-N models, or buyer-approved equivalents, through an Invitation for Quotation numbered IFQ 2200 JSL1029, posted on July 2, 2026. The solicitation is for the delivery of ruggedized, IP65-rated wireless telemetry devices that support LTE-M1 and NB-IoT communication protocols, integrated with a cloud-based monitoring platform offering real-time data visualization, alerting, and reporting capabilities. The contract is performance-based, requiring reliable long-range connectivity and compliance with industry-standard cybersecurity practices including end-to-end encryption, role-based access controls, and secure firmware updates. The City will evaluate submissions on a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable basis, meaning the award will go to the lowest quote that meets all mandatory technical and regulatory requirements. Estimated contract value is $463,700, derived from fixed pricing for after-hours labor, routine maintenance services, and a 25% markup on an annual materials spend of $350,000, with the City retaining the right to adjust purchase quantities up or down without a defined ceiling. All deliveries must be made FOB Destination to City of Austin facilities, with freight costs included in the quoted unit price, and each shipment must be clearly marked with the City’s name, address, contents, and contract number. Invoices must be submitted electronically to AWLogisticsSC@austintexas.gov, and payment is contingent upon official acceptance by the City, which occurs upon delivery and verification that all items conform to specifications, are free from defects, and meet merchantable quality standards. The Contractor must maintain continuity of designated key personnel—Georgia Billela as Contract Manager, Kim Thoene as Contractual Monitor, and Wardell White as Operational Monitor—and any replacement must be approved in writing by the City, with equivalent qualifications. Offerors must certify their status regarding non-resident business origins, Texas-sourced equipment, debarment status, LGBTQ+ conversion therapy practices, boycotts of Israel, and wage theft adjudications, with affirmative responses triggering disqualification or mandatory reporting. No formal packaging, preservation, or bar-coding standards are specified beyond general compliance with environmental regulations and integrity during transit.
