Truck Parking Availability Info System (TPAIS) Integration

The Montana Department of Transportation is pursuing a sole-source procurement to integrate the Truck Parking Availability Information System (TPAIS) with its existing Roadway Management System and Advanced Traveler Information Systems, with Iteris identified as the sole qualified vendor due to proprietary control over the required 511 platform, mobile applications, and integrated infrastructure. This is not a competitive solicitation, and no formal Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses, evaluation factors, inspection criteria, or packaging requirements are specified. Vendors who believe they can provide an equivalent solution must submit a detailed written description of their product or service through the eMACS procurement system by August 7, 2026, using the designated Q&A board; failure to respond will result in direct award to Iteris. The integration work must be completed and accepted by August 2026, with final invoicing required by September 30, 2026, under Net 30 payment terms. The estimated contract value is $131,071, comprising a base cost of $21,871 for system build and integration and $23,040 annually for five years of maintenance. All communications, submissions, and clarifications must occur exclusively through eMACS, with no alternative methods accepted. The contracting officer is Michele Smith, and no Contracting Officer’s Representative or additional points of contact are named. No formal representations, certifications, SME requirements, or socioeconomic status disclosures are solicited or included, as the procurement hinges solely on technical exclusivity and system interoperability with Iteris-controlled assets.
