IHS Markit - S&P Global

The State of Colorado’s Mobile Sources Program requires a comprehensive, bulk‑extracted vehicle registration dataset covering more than 6 million records. The dataset must include Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) classes (1‑8) and detailed fuel‑type sub‑classifications (BEV, PHEV, hydrogen, alternative fuels) and must be delivered in a format that can be directly used for compliance verification under the Colorado Clean Cars, Advanced Clean Trucks (ACT), and Clean Fleet Enterprise statutory mandates. IHS Markit (a subsidiary of S&P Global) is the sole vendor capable of providing the proprietary POLK VIN‑decoder output that meets these specifications, eliminating the need for CDPHE staff to preprocess raw registration files. The contract is a five‑year sole‑source agreement valued at $175,000 total. • Provides POLK VIN‑decoded vehicle registration data for the entire Colorado fleet (≈6 M+ records). • Includes GVWR class (1‑8) and granular fuel‑type breakdown (BEV, PHEV, hydrogen, etc.). • Data delivered in bulk‑extract format ready for use by the Mobile Sources Program for ZEV and ACT compliance. • Sole‑source justified because no other vendor can supply raw, bulk‑extracted VIN‑decoded files with the required schema. • Five‑year term (12/30/2026 – 12/29/2031) with an estimated total cost of $175,000 (~$35 k per year).
