Overview

Summary

The Jacksonville Transportation Authority (JTA) intends to award a sole source contract to Genfare LLC for the procurement of its core components, validators, fare collection system parts, proprietary software, and related support services. This procurement is justified based on system standardization and compatibility requirements.

Background

JTA currently operates a Genfare fare collection system for core components of its transit network, including fareboxes and backend systems. However, there are some existing components procured from a different manufacturer and are not fully compatible with Genfare’s proprietary platform. This mixed-system environment creates inefficiencies in system integration, maintenance, data management, and overall operational performance.

To address these challenges, JTA has determined that full system standardization under a single platform is necessary to ensure interoperability, reliability, and long-term cost efficiency. JTA intends to replace the existing non-Genfare components with Genfare components to achieve a fully integrated fare collection system. Standardizing all fare collection components under Genfare will allow seamless communication between devices, consistent software functionality, improved data accuracy, and streamlined vendor support.

Genfare LLC, as the original equipment manufacturer and sole provider of its proprietary fare collection technology, is the only source capable of supplying validators, parts, and software that are fully compatible with JTA’s existing Genfare infrastructure.

Accordingly, this procurement is justified as a sole source based on the need for system standardization, compatibility with existing equipment, and the avoidance of unnecessary duplication of costs, in accordance with applicable FTA procurement guidelines.

Any vendor that believes that they can provide the above-mentioned product(s), shall submit a written statement outlining their reasons and concerns in detail along with sufficient documentation to substantiate their claim that their offer meets the specifications of the proposed proprietary/single source recommendation.
