PolicyIQ

The Jacksonville Transportation Authority (JTA) intends to award a Sole Source Contract to Novus Notions, LLC for PolicyIQ (PIQ), a cloud-based Governance, Risk, and Compliance solution. The software will serve as a comprehensive repository for JTA's policies, procedures, work instructions, and internal audit documents, with the primary objective of automating document authoring, publishing, communication, testing, and revision processes. The system will specifically manage all aspects of audit process management and automate business document approval workflows through predetermined approval paths. This procurement opportunity is located in Duval County, Florida, specifically within Jacksonville City jurisdiction. Interested parties must submit questions or concerns through the JTA OpenGov Procurement Portal (https://procurement.opengov.com/portal/jtafla) under the "Question and Answer" tab, or contact the Procurement Department via email at procurement@jtafla.com. The solicitation was posted on November 17, 2025, with a proposal due date of December 5, 2025, and all responses to questions will be uploaded to the procurement portal.

The contract appears to be a direct sole source procurement, which typically limits competitive bidding and suggests a unique vendor selection based on specialized capabilities. No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly mentioned in the documentation. The procurement is specifically targeting Novus Notions, LLC as the sole vendor for PolicyIQ, indicating a targeted technological solution that meets JTA's precise governance and compliance management requirements. While no specific contract value was provided, the comprehensive nature of the software suggests a significant technological investment in enterprise-level compliance and document management infrastructure. The cloud-based solution implies potential ongoing subscription or licensing costs, though exact financial details were not disclosed in the original posting. The sole source designation further suggests that PolicyIQ represents a unique solution that cannot be readily replicated by alternative vendors, potentially justifying the direct award approach.
