Summary
As transit agencies incorporate more technology into their operations, standards that guide the procurement of these technologies will improve the purchasing agencies’ and suppliers’ likelihood of achieving successful procurements. Technology procurements have inherent differences from other procurements that agencies process; therefore, guidance specific to technology will significantly improve the development of terms and conditions and risk management for these procurements
