The work requires alignment with industry-accepted data formats to ensure seamless interoperability, real-time updates, and accurate transit information across multiple service types. The subcontractor must demonstrate technical expertise in implementing these standards to unify disparate data streams, enhance operational visibility, and support improved rider information and service planning. The opportunity is open for bids with a submission deadline of August 13, 2026, and is categorized under NAICS code 541512 for computer systems design services. The contract is issued by Utah’s agency office with no specified place of performance or point of contact, and the work is expected to support broader transit modernization goals across the state. There is no set-aside designation, and the procurement is structured as a subcontract, indicating it may be part of a larger initiative led by a prime contractor or internal department. All data integration efforts must comply with current and emerging standards to ensure scalability and long-term usability within UTA’s technology ecosystem.
