Request for Information (RFI) Only Development, Management, & Provision of Standardized Curbside and Parking Management Information Application Program Interface (API)

The District of Columbia's Office of Contracting and Procurement (OCP) and District Department of Transportation (DDOT) have issued a Request for Information (RFI) specifically targeting development, management, and provision of a standardized curbside and parking management information Application Programming Interface (API). This procurement opportunity, identified by contract ID 66c858e8829eb5d869071476, is designed to solicit best practices from industry professionals regarding fiber communication networks. The RFI was posted on June 29, 2018, with a response deadline of August 3, 2018, indicating a relatively short window for potential vendors to submit their insights and recommendations. While the document does not provide explicit evaluation criteria, the primary objective appears to be gathering comprehensive industry knowledge about implementing advanced technological solutions for urban parking and curbside management. Potential respondents should focus on innovative approaches to creating a robust, standardized API that can effectively support transportation infrastructure data collection and management.

The RFI does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are mentioned in the provided documentation, and there are no clear indications of existing infrastructure that would require direct integration. Similarly, no specific budget ranges or potential award values are disclosed in the current document. The procurement appears to be in an exploratory phase, seeking industry expertise to inform potential future development of a comprehensive parking and curbside management system. Interested parties should carefully review the full RFI documentation to understand the precise technical requirements and expectations for their proposed solutions. Vendors with expertise in transportation technology, API development, fiber communication networks, and urban mobility systems would likely be best positioned to provide meaningful input to this District of Columbia procurement opportunity.
