The U.S. Department of Transportation, through its Office of the Senior Procurement Executive, is seeking industry input through a Sources Sought Notice to identify qualified contractors capable of providing critical adjudicatory and rulemaking support services to all Operating Administrations within DOT and the Transportation Security Administration under the Department of Homeland Security. This effort is designed to enhance access to information resources for agency staff, program contractors, other federal agencies, and the public by modernizing docket management systems using a combination of human expertise and AI-enabled tools, all governed by strict oversight protocols. The anticipated procurement will be a Firm Fixed Price contract with a five-year performance period, comprising a one-year base period and four one-year option periods, contingent upon satisfactory performance. The effort is designated as a Total Small Business Set-Aside under FAR 19.5, and the North American Industry Classification System code is 541199, classified under All Other Legal Services. Contractor support will include staffing with five distinct labor categories—Senior Project Manager, Legal Governance Analyst, Digital Docketing and Data Integrity Specialist, Information and Data Analyst, and Docketing Data Steward—each with clearly defined roles, mandatory qualifications, and fixed annual labor hour allocations. AI use is permitted but strictly regulated: all AI agents must have documented owners, defined scopes of authority, and escalation paths; they are prohibited from making final legal determinations, releasing records, or closing dockets without human approval. Contractors must maintain a master prompt library, model-version registry, and change log, and conduct monthly audits of at least 500 AI-generated outputs. Deliverables must meet rigorous standards for accuracy, clarity, consistency, editability, and timeliness, with all outputs subject to inspection and formal acceptance by the Contracting Officer’s Representative at DOT Headquarters in Washington, DC. Responses to this non-binding RFI are limited to 10 pages and must include feedback on the Draft Statement of Work, proposed labor categories, past performance references for docket operations within the last three years, and GSA MAS contract details. All submissions must be emailed to the designated contacts by July 8, 2026, with the subject line “RFI Dockets Operations,” and no reimbursement will be provided for response efforts. No formal evaluation factors, contract clauses, or pricing details are contained in this notice, as this is an information-gathering action preceding a future formal solicitation under an appropriate GSA MAS schedule.
