BidTabs Data- FHWA

The Federal Highway Administration has published a Special Notice regarding their intent to sole source a three-year contract to Oman Systems, Inc. for access to the BidTabs database. This database contains comprehensive information about winning bids submitted on highway construction contracts, including detailed pricing and quantity data for pay items from State Department of Transportation highway construction projects. The notice falls under the NAICS category of Software Publishers and the PSC category of IT and Telecom - Business Application Software. The Federal Highway Administration describes this as a relatively large database that provides a detailed universe of pricing information for highway construction projects across state transportation departments.

The primary purpose of this Special Notice is to announce the intended sole source procurement rather than solicit competitive proposals, though the agency will consider responses solely to determine whether a competitive procurement should be conducted instead. Interested parties have until July 30, 2025, to submit descriptions of their firm's capabilities that demonstrate their ability to successfully perform this effort. While the notice does not explicitly request competitive proposals, contractors who believe they can satisfy the requirement may respond by showcasing their relevant capabilities and experience. All inquiries regarding this procurement must be directed to the specified government contacts at Jonathan.Agudelo@dot.gov and Amalia.Rodezno@dot.gov. The contract opportunity is classified as having no set-aside designation, making it available to all eligible contractors regardless of size or socioeconomic status.
