UPDATE AND ENHANCE JOBMOD 4.0 TOOL, Federal Highway Administration (FHWA)The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has issued a request for information to identify potential sources for a contract to update and enhance the JOBMOD economic modeling tool by transitioning it from a Microsoft Excel-based platform to a Python-based one. JOBMOD, which estimates employment impacts of federal-aid highway construction, integrates input-output economic modeling using data from the U.S. Commerce Department and other sources. The modernization effort seeks to improve transparency, automate analyses, and reduce manual errors by leveraging contemporary data sources such as the latest Bureau of Economic Analysis input-output tables, BLS compensation data, and highway construction cost databases. Key deliverables include updating technical coefficients, refining economic modeling parameters according to FHWA standards, creating a centralized Python tool with a user-friendly Py-Shiny dashboard, and providing thorough documentation that ensures FHWA staff can maintain and operate the tool independently. The contract anticipates a fixed price structure over a 12-month period with work performed at the contractor’s location. Interested organizations are invited to submit capability statements detailing their corporate information, technical skills, and relevant experience—particularly in Python development, economic input-output modeling, data automation using BEA and BLS data, and development of accessible, interactive web dashboards compliant with Section 508. The proposed team must include professionals experienced in economic analysis with specific expertise in input-output models, along with developers proficient in Python and Py-Shiny dashboard creation. Respondents should highlight prior projects related to economic modeling, Python tool development, or transportation data analytics, particularly those supporting government contracts, and submit these by July 7, 2026. Questions and responses are to be directed to designated FHWA contacts in Washington, D.C.
