RFI -Advanced Transportation Analytics Platform Services

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), through the Department of Transportation’s 693JJ4 Office of Acquisition Management, has issued a Request for Information (RFI) titled Advanced Transportation Analytics Platform Services solicitation number 693JJ4-26-RFI-0002 to gather industry input on the development of a next-generation analytics platform aimed at modernizing motor carrier oversight. This RFI, posted on May 18, 2026, and due by June 8, 2026 at 5:00 PM EST, is strictly a market research tool and does not constitute a solicitation for proposals or a commitment to award a contract. The goal is to assess the commercial availability of capabilities that enable continuous, data-driven risk assessment of motor carriers by integrating commercial and government data sources to identify unsafe or fraudulent operators, detect insurance coverage gaps, monitor freight corridor risks, and support real-time enforcement through API-accessible alert systems. The platform must deliver macro-level risk analytics, executive dashboards, dynamic risk modeling incorporating social media and FOCI data, and a device-agnostic interface, with an optional capability for a feedback loop to retrain models and a proactive broker risk assessment feature aligned with existing legal precedent. Responses are limited to ten pages excluding cover and table of contents, may include a five-minute video link hosted externally, and must include a capability statement and an appendix detailing data rights and intellectual property disclosures. Respondents must indicate their small business status or clearly state Other Than Small Business on the cover page, but no Unique Entity ID, CAGE code, or socioeconomic certifications beyond size status are required. Submission is via email to Mark Miller and Sabrina Phillips at DOT, with no physical packaging or delivery requirements due to the digital nature of the platform. The place of performance is Washington, D.C., though remote delivery is expected. No contract value, evaluation factors, pricing information, clauses, or formal period of performance are specified, as this RFI is preparatory to future acquisition planning. The North American Industry Classification System code is 518210, reflecting the focus on data processing and related services, with no military standards or physical delivery terms applicable.
