About this file
This document is a Sole Source Justification for the purchase of the AASHTOWARE Bridge Management software package and associated maintenance and support, under simplified acquisition procedures (under $250,000). The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) is procuring this software as it is the only commercially available product that meets their specific requirements, including long-range forecasting for National Park Service bridge needs and regional bridge priority lists. The software developer, the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO), uses feedback from end-users to continually improve the product. FHWA intends to sole source this procurement to AASHTO, and has posted a notice allowing 15 days for any responsible sources to submit quotes for consideration.
