Cooperative Purchasing with Pipe Dream® on Texas BuyBoard
Municipalities and government agencies face increasing pressure to do more with fewer resources. Sewer and pipeline inspection programs are essential, but the equipment required can be expensive, difficult to procure, and slow to service when something goes wrong. Traditional dealer networks add layers of cost and delay, and competitive bidding cycles can stall projects for months.
By listing Pipe Dream® on Texas BuyBoard, Edge AI Solutions removes these hurdles. Agencies can access advanced inspection technology under a contract that has already been competitively awarded, making the process faster, simpler, and fully compliant with procurement requirements.
Why Purchase Through Texas BuyBoard?
Cost Control and Predictability
BuyBoard contracts give agencies the ability to purchase equipment at competitive, contract-ready pricing without hidden fees or unexpected terms. This means inspection budgets can be allocated more effectively, with confidence that coverage and support are already in place.
Access to Advanced Technology
Pipe Dream® is a portable, modular inspection robot designed for 6–48″+ pipelines. Unlike heavy, truck-based systems, it can be deployed quickly in hard-to-reach easements, golf courses, wetlands, and other challenging terrain. With RFID-enabled positional accuracy, Kevlar-reinforced tethering, and modular components, it offers agencies a modern tool for consistent inspections without dependence on dealer-bound systems.
Streamlined Procurement
Because Texas BuyBoard contracts are already established, agencies can purchase directly without going through a new RFP process. This reduces administrative overhead, saves time, and ensures compliance with state and local procurement rules.
Ongoing Support
Edge AI Solutions provides direct engineering and service support for all Pipe Dream® units purchased through BuyBoard. Maintenance coverage options are structured to keep inspections on schedule and reduce downtime, ensuring agencies get the most out of their investment.
