SRTA Request for Discussion (RFD) 26-000 Connected Vehicle Solutions and Technologies

The State Road and Tollway Authority (SRTA) in Georgia is conducting a Request for Discussion (RFD) 26-000 focused on Connected Vehicle (CV) and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2X) solutions for the Northwest Corridor Express Lanes along I-75/I-575 in the Atlanta metropolitan area. The procurement seeks innovative technology solutions that can improve mobility, enhance roadway safety, and provide real-time traffic information for motorists, freight operators, transit providers, and emergency responders. Vendors must submit a one-page PDF response by 2:00 PM EST on December 3, 2025, including company contact information, solution name, manufacturer details, and a 500-word description of the proposed connected solution. Selected participants will engage in one-hour virtual Microsoft Teams meetings where SRTA will explore deployment history, system architecture, business models, costs, and user interaction mechanisms. This RFD is explicitly not a formal procurement process and does not guarantee a contract award or commitment to future procurement. All communications must be conducted in writing through SRTA's Issuing Officer, Staci Winston, at procurement@srta.ga.gov, with vendors prohibited from contacting other SRTA or GDOT representatives directly.

The RFD does not specify specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. The procurement explicitly requires that proposed solutions operate independently of existing SRTA back-office systems and cannot involve tolling applications. Vendors may designate submitted information as proprietary or confidential, following specific marking and color-coding procedures, though all materials remain subject to Georgia's Open Records Act. While no specific budget range or award value is mentioned, the RFD indicates that selected participants will be notified by December 10, 2025. The procurement process emphasizes technology solutions that can enhance transportation infrastructure without integrating with current SRTA systems. Vendors should be prepared to demonstrate their solution's capabilities, scalability, and potential to improve transportation efficiency in the Northwest Corridor Express Lanes region.
