Summary
The City of Port Orange, Florida is issuing a sole source procurement notice for the purchase of Crash Data Retrieval (CDR) units, accessories, and software from Bosch Automotive Solutions for use by the city's law enforcement agency. The proprietary software is protected under the United States Copyright Act and supports investigation of traffic homicide cases, with an estimated purchase amount of $6,000. The procurement is justified as a sole/single-source acquisition because Bosch Automotive Solutions is the exclusive provider and manufacturer of the CDR System, and prospective suppliers may provide information regarding their ability to supply these commodities to the Procurement Manager.
