VDS Equipment Demonstration and Testing

The Texas Department of Transportation is soliciting subcontractors to demonstrate and test Vehicle Detection Systems to validate their accuracy and performance against established standards. The effort is focused on evaluating the systems’ ability to reliably detect and classify vehicles under real-world conditions, ensuring they meet operational requirements for traffic monitoring and management. The solicitation requires vendors to provide equipment for on-site testing in Smith, with all demonstrations to be completed by the deadline of June 1, 2026. This subcontract falls under the NAICS code 541380, which covers other scientific and technical consulting services, indicating the work involves technical evaluation and validation rather than manufacturing or supply alone. There is no set-aside type specified, and the procurement is open to qualified subcontractors capable of delivering and operating the required detection technologies. All testing must be conducted in the field location specified, and contractors are expected to document performance metrics, system limitations, and compliance with the Texas Department of Transportation’s technical benchmarks. Participation involves direct engagement with the agency’s operational needs, and proposals must align with the agency’s infrastructure monitoring objectives.
