Description
The Personal Property Activity (PPA) is conducting market research to understand how household‑goods moving, shipping, transportation, and storage service providers can integrate their internal software systems with a central Government API. The RFI seeks detailed information on integration costs, development timelines, standard practices, testing approaches, and risk‑mitigation strategies. Responses are purely informational; the Government will not award a contract or provide compensation based on this RFI.
• Goal: Gather industry input to shape future technical requirements for a Government‑wide API that will handle shipment awards, status updates, document uploads, and payment requests.
• Technical focus: RESTful JSON services, OpenAPI compliance, Mutual TLS authentication, NIST SP 800‑171 and CMMC Level 2 security, handling of CUI/PII.
• Required submission content: Company information, cost & effort estimates, timeline estimates, standards used, testing & risk‑mitigation recommendations, and any additional comments.
• Submission limits: One response per company, max 20 pages, due 4:00 PM CT on 30 Sept 2026.
• Questions: Must be submitted by 4:00 PM CT on 15 Sept 2026. All communications via email to the listed points of contact.
