ITN-591-270000000006-1 | Transearch Contract/Freight Data

The State of Michigan, through the Michigan Department of Transportation, has issued solicitation number 270000000006 for the procurement of Transearch freight data. This is a notice of intent to negotiate and contract with a single provider, S&P Global Market Intelligence, as the state believes no viable alternative exists. The contract scope involves providing five years of annual updates to a U.S. County level freight movement database for the vintages of 2024, 2025, 2026, 2027, and 2028. Each annual update must include forecasts for the years 2035, 2045, and 2055 to support statewide freight travel demand modeling, economic analysis, and the State Long-Range Transportation Plan. The required data must include county-to-county freight flows by mode, covering inbound, outbound, within, and through movements in Michigan, as well as international movements involving Canada and Mexico. Deliverables must be categorized by tonnage, value, and units moved using 4-digit Standard Transportation Commodity Codes. Additionally, the data must include total emissions, hazardous commodity identification, and geographic shapefiles for rail and truck routing. Terry Harris serves as the solicitation manager. Parties offering an equivalent product or service must submit a written response by November 25, 2026.
