The notice does not list any specific requirements or projects; rather, the solicitation requests “software development services in support of various future TxDOT initiatives.”
The department has various software-related projects listed in its capital budget for the fiscal year, according to HB 1:
- $24 million has been allocated for the Centralized Accounting and Payroll/Personnel System (CAPPS)
- $42 million has been allocated for cybersecurity initiative projects
- $15 million has been allocated for mainframe legacy modernization
TxDOT CIO Anh Selissen has previously pointed to artificial intelligence as a “critical area” of future development for the department, and has already begun implementing the technology in key areas to drive down user access management time frames for processing tickets, making it a likely candidate for future software development projects.
