Road Data Collection And Business IntelligenceBid Documents

The Indiana Department of Administration has issued a Request for Information (RFI) to gather innovative technology solutions focused on enhancing data collection, evaluation, visualization, and public engagement related to Indiana's road infrastructure. This initiative aims to improve decision-making and maintenance planning for roads and bridges, as mandated by House Enrolled Act 1461 (2025). The RFI seeks detailed proposals from vendors that can demonstrate their capabilities in developing business intelligence solutions, including AI integration, secure infrastructure hosting—preferably cloud-based within state-controlled environments—and comprehensive project timelines and costs. Respondents are encouraged to provide information on their organizational experience, prior government implementations, and technical approaches, with a focus on security, compliance with standards such as NIST 800-53, and alignment with the upcoming Risk and Assurance Management Program (RAMP). The solicitation emphasizes the importance of innovative, scalable, and secure solutions that can support Indiana's data-driven decision-making processes for road maintenance and public transparency. The contract size ranges from five to fifteen million dollars, reflecting the project's scope and significance. The process includes structured templates for responses, questions, and clarifications, with key deadlines for submissions and inquiries set for November 15, 2025, and October 8, 2025, respectively. The Indiana Department of Administration, on behalf of the Indiana Legislative Council and Purdue University's Local Technical Assistance Program, aims to leverage this RFI to inform future procurement efforts, ensuring that selected solutions meet the state's technical, security, and operational requirements. The primary point of contact for this initiative is Je Jansen, reachable via email for further communication.
