1. Introduction

The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) is issuing this

Request for Information (RFI) to gather input from interested parties regarding the continuation of ongoing, mission critical support services related to hazardous materials safety data, risk-based in sections, and data integration. This RFI is for market research and planning purposes only and does not constitute a Request for Proposal (RFP), Invitation for

Bid (IFB), or Request for Quote (RFQ). No contract will be awarded based on responses to this RFI.

2. Background

The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) is responsible for protecting people and the environment by ensuring the safe transport of hazardous materials. Within PHMSA, the Office of Hazardous Materials Safety (OHMS) Operation Systems Division oversees key programs that include data and risk analytics, R&D, and program management.

As PHMSA increases its focus on data integration, risk modeling, and oversight of LNG facilities, we are seeking innovative, proven approaches to modernize our systems and tools. This includes enhancing platforms like Data Hub, improving the Master Company

Hub, and strengthening our data architecture to support cross-modal coordination, compliance analysis, and incident prevention.

We are particularly interested in solutions that support LNG safety and design oversight under 49 CFR Part 193 and NFPA 59A, as well as those that enable us to meet federal mandates such as the DOT Public Access Plan.

Through this Request for Information (RFI), PHMSA is gathering insights from qualified organizations to inform future strategies in data, design, and safety innovation.

The purpose of this RFI is to gather information from experienced organizations with demonstrated capabilities in LNG facility oversight, data architecture modernization, and risk-based safety modeling. PHMSA is seeking solutions that:

• Enhance integration and usability of hazmat safety data across systems;

• Improve risk analysis tools and support targeted enforcement and outreach;

• Support compliance with 49 CFR Part 193, NFPA 59A, and the DOT Public

Access Plan;

• Advance cross-modal coordination and public transparency.

Responses to this RFI will help inform potential future acquisitions or partnerships to strengthen PHMSA’s data-driven safety mission.
