NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD SOLE SOURCE
Solicitation #: SSP 800951
Agency: Capital Metropolitan Transportation Authority (“CapMetro”)
Procurement Department
CapMetro intends to solicit and award a sole source contract to CONDUENT TRANSPORT SOLUTIONS, INC. to provide maintenance and support for a Certified Integrated Vehicle Units (IVUs). CapMetro is seeking to resupply our inventory of Integrated Vehicle Units (IVU) which are part of the Conduent CAD/AVL system.
Conduent Transport Solutions, Inc. is considered a sole source because:
- There are no third-party developers since it is a proprietary system and not open for other vendors to provide services.
- CapMetro uses the Conduent Systems Computer Aided Dispatch / Automatic Vehicle Location Systems (CAD/AVL) on all buses and trains. Conduent is the sole provider of certain custom designed, manufactured and programmed components of the Conduent CAD/AVL system. One of these components is the Integrated Vehicle Unit, IVU. While the IVUs may be refurbished and reused, they also wear out and need to be replaced. This order is to restock the IVU spares inventory.
This will be a fixed-price contract.
This synopsis is for notification purposes only and does not constitute a solicitation for bids, quotes, or proposals. However, all responsible sources that believe they can meet all of the requirements may submit an unsolicited proposal which shall be considered. If no responses are received by 3:00 p.m. Central Standard Time, 02/09/2023, a Sole Source contract will be pursued with CONDUENT TRANSPORT SOLUTIONS, INC.
Submit your unsolicited proposal to:
