About this opportunity
The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), an agency within the Department of Transportation, has issued a presolicitation Special Notice for the Right of Way (ROW) Database Development project. This notice indicates FHWA's intent to execute a sole source contract with MZC Foundation, Inc. under DOT Class Deviation 2025-23 and FAR 12.102, which permits single-source procurement under 41 U.S.C. 1901. The Special Notice was posted on December 18, 2025, with a capabilities statement submission deadline of January 2, 2026. While this procurement is not open to competitive bidding, interested parties are invited to submit information regarding their firm's qualifications. All inquiries should be directed to Carolyn Lethert or Donna Franzese at their respective Department of Transportation email addresses.
The primary objective of this effort is to develop a comprehensive database that identifies right-of-way corridors owned by linear transportation projects and evaluates opportunities for linear utilities—including transmission lines, fiber optic networks, and pipelines—to collocate within that ROW to generate mutual value. Interested contractors must submit a capabilities statement by January 2, 2026, demonstrating their firm's ability to successfully execute this database development work; however, this submission is not intended to solicit competitive proposals but rather to inform FHWA's decision regarding whether to proceed with competitive procurement. The opportunity is categorized under NAICS 541519 (Other Computer Related Services) and PSC DH01 (IT and Telecom - Platform Support Services: Database, Mainframe, Middleware). Contractors should note that while MZC Foundation, Inc. is currently the identified sole source, submitting a capabilities statement may influence the agency's final procurement approach.
