The Federal Highway Administration intends to negotiate a single source purchase order with the Heart of Iowa Regional Transit Agency for the ITS4US Deployment Accelerator Pilot Technical Assistance. This initiative focuses on the replication of the Health Connector, a successful system developed by the Heart of Iowa Regional Transit Agency that integrates healthcare appointment scheduling with transportation to improve medical access. The goal is to accelerate the deployment of this technology in up to five new locations by providing specialized coaching and knowledge transfer to create Proof-of-Concept models, thereby reducing inefficiencies and costs associated with independent development.
The Heart of Iowa Regional Transit Agency is identified as the sole source for this contract due to its unique position as the original developer and deployer of the Health Connector. Their specific expertise in system architecture, API integrations, and rural healthcare workflows is deemed irreplaceable within the required timeframe. Interested parties may submit capability statements by August 12, 2026, although the agency is not currently seeking competitive quotes. This procurement is managed by the Department of Transportation under solicitation number 693JJ3-26-SN-0005.
