Snowmobile Grooming Tracking System

The Michigan Department of Natural Resources is requesting proposals for a Snowmobile Grooming Tracking System software solution, with proposals due November 6, 2026.

The scope encompasses software development, implementation, and ongoing support for a system to monitor snowmobile grooming operations across Michigan's trail network. The system must track equipment usage, monitor trail conditions, and generate reporting analytics. Vendors must demonstrate experience developing tracking and management systems for government agencies and capability to support both initial implementation and long-term system maintenance. The system must integrate with existing DNR infrastructure, comply with data privacy requirements, and accommodate scalability for future expansion. Training for DNR personnel responsible for system administration and field operations is required.

The RFP emphasizes technical architecture, functionality, data management capabilities, user interface design, and system security. Vendors must address software development expertise, implementation timelines, contract duration, renewal options, and pricing terms in their proposals. A vendor questions document posted October 22, 2026 addresses prospective bidder inquiries regarding project scope, technical specifications, and evaluation criteria and is binding to the procurement and any resulting contract.
