ITN, 2014 Transearch Data per attached specifications

The State of Michigan, through the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT), is issuing an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) for the procurement of the 2014 Transearch data set. Transearch is a comprehensive trucking flow data set developed by IHS Markit that is used by MDOT in its statewide travel demand model and long-range transportation planning. The contract will be awarded to a single source, IHS Global Insight USA, Inc., to provide this data set to MDOT as well as Ingham County and the City of Lansing. The key objectives are to keep MDOT's statewide travel demand model up-to-date and support the development of the state's long-range transportation plan. Vendors must submit responses by September 16, 2019 at 3:00 PM EST if they do not agree that IHS Global Insight is the only viable source for this data set.

The ITN does not contain any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. There is no information provided on incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor any details on existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. Similarly, the ITN does not include any award value or budget range details.
