DOT Aircraft Registration Solution

The Iowa Department of Transportation (IDOT) is seeking market information on commercially available software that can manage aircraft registration in the State of Iowa, replacing a legacy custom web application. The agency is conducting a Request for Information (RFI) to identify vendors, understand capabilities, pricing structures, and determine the best procurement route (reseller, cooperative purchase, or competitive solicitation). • Scope: A COTS aircraft‑registration management solution that handles records, owner changes, certificate generation, renewal notices, and integrates with the state’s e‑Pay system (Tyler Technologies). • Functional requirements include secure data handling, encryption, ADA/Section 508 accessibility, cloud or on‑premises hosting, API support, and compliance with state aviation regulations. • The RFI does not commit to a contract; it is a market‑research effort with a submission deadline of 6 May 2026. Vendors must provide capability statements, rough cost estimates, and any relevant certifications.
