The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is surveying the market for a new electronic bidding system solution.
According to a request for information (RFI), TxDOT is asking vendors to provide any information on their systems relevant to online bid advertising, including system capabilities, how multiple role-based logins are handled, bonding information, notifications and performance measures.
The agency currently conducts bid advertising via Bonfire in addition to Texas SmartBuy.
TxDOT’s strategic plan for 2025-2029 lists an expected $211 million in expenditures for technology upgrades and $127 million for information systems modernization. House Bill 1 lists $28.3 million for tech upgrades and $36.3 million for systems modernization in the agency’s capital budget for 2025.
More detailed information about the RFI can be found online. Questions and responses are due via email to the point of contact, Carolyn Brooks, by Oct. 3 at 3 p.m.
