The Commonwealth of Kentucky is issuing a Request for Proposal (RFP) for an ADS-B Airport Surveillance and Reporting Tool System (RTS) to be used by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) Department of Aviation. The RFP seeks proposals for a cloud-based system to track aircraft movements at 54 non-commercial and 3 commercial Kentucky airports, with the goal of improving the accuracy and timeliness of airport operations data used to allocate state funding.

Vendors must demonstrate experience providing statewide or national aircraft tracking services, have appropriate facilities and equipment, and provide references. The evaluation will be based on technical, cost, and optional oral demonstration components, with the highest ranked vendor selected for contract negotiations. The initial contract term is 2 years with up to 4 one-year renewal options.

This state-level contracting opportunity is open to all qualified vendors, with no set-aside designations or restrictions mentioned. The RFP does not provide information on any incumbent vendors or existing technology that requires integration. The budget or award value range is also not specified in the provided documents.
