Airport Operations Data Collection and Dashboard Technology

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) Aviation Office is seeking information from prospective vendors regarding the collection and provision of reliable aircraft operations counts data from each public-use airport in the State of Florida. The project aims to identify and implement the most advanced flight operations tracking technologies, provide fact-based information to support infrastructure investment decisions, establish consistent operations counting methods, develop a robust database of airport flight operations, and create policies and procedures for statewide airport operations counting practices. The Request for Information (RFI) requests details on the vendor's capabilities in areas such as aircraft operations data collection, airport coordination and equipment installation, user interface/dashboard creation, database and dashboard management, and system training. Responses to the RFI must be submitted by 5:00 pm EST on Monday, October 10, 2022, and will be reviewed for informational purposes only and will not be considered as offers to form a binding contract. Any subsequent competitive solicitation resulting from this RFI will be advertised on the Florida Vendor Bid System, and the information obtained through this RFI may be used to develop scope and solicitation documents for future procurements at the discretion of the Department. Respondents to the RFI will remain eligible for any subsequent contract.

The RFI is focused on the state of Florida and the jurisdiction of Leon County. The RFI does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond, nor does it mention any incumbent vendors or current contractors. The RFI also does not provide any information on possible award values or budget ranges for the project.
