API Development and Enhancement for North American Data Access

The contract requires the design, development, and ongoing maintenance of a RESTful API to provide real-time access to electric vehicle and alternative fuel station data across the United States and Canada, with a focus on seamless interoperability with third-party systems and strict adherence to cross-border data regulations. The solution must ensure consistent, reliable, and secure data dissemination to support public and private sector mobility applications, while aligning with evolving privacy and data sovereignty requirements in both countries. The API must handle high-volume queries, support scalable infrastructure, and incorporate robust error handling and monitoring to guarantee service availability and data integrity. The solicitation, issued by the Government of Canada’s Department of Natural Resources, is classified as a subcontract under NAICS code 541511 and is open for responses until August 6, 2026. Performance is expected to be global in scope, with no specific location restrictions beyond the requirement to serve data across North America. The contract emphasizes compliance, scalability, and long-term maintainability, with successful bidders expected to deliver a resilient, future-ready platform capable of integrating new fuel types, expanding coverage, and adapting to regulatory changes without disruption. All systems must meet stringent security and data governance standards to safeguard sensitive geographical and usage information.
