Hydrogen Refueling Station Deployment

The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) to solicit feedback regarding the deployment of hydrogen refueling stations (HRS) throughout the State of Georgia. This procurement is specifically targeted at private-sector entities, including heavy-duty truck and fleet owners operating near the Ports of Savannah and Brunswick, as well as potential hydrogen refueling station developers. The primary objective of this RFI is to gather market intelligence and stakeholder input to inform the development of future solicitations or procurements related to hydrogen fuel cell-powered (FCEV) heavy trucking infrastructure. GDOT seeks to understand opportunities for supporting the adoption of hydrogen fuel cell technology in the state's transportation sector. Respondents are required to submit their RFI responses via email to ContractsOGC@dot.ga.gov no later than September 7, 2023, which is the deadline specified in the Schedule of Events. The RFI was posted on August 7, 2023, providing a one-month response window for interested parties to provide their feedback and insights.

The RFI documentation does not specify any set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise requirements, or restrictions limiting the types of organizations that may respond. No incumbent vendors, current contractors, or existing infrastructure integration requirements are identified in the available contract materials. Similarly, the RFI does not disclose a specific award value or budget range, as this is an information-gathering solicitation intended to precede any future formal procurement rather than a direct award opportunity. Interested organizations should note that participation in this RFI does not guarantee selection for any subsequent contracting opportunities that may be issued by GDOT.
