Integrated Right-Of-Way Information System (IRIS)

The Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) is seeking information from qualified vendors on their ability to provide a contractor‑hosted, enterprise‑wide Integrated Right‑of‑Way Information System (IRIS) that will replace the agency’s current on‑premises solution. The new system must support comprehensive right‑of‑way acquisition, relocation, utility coordination, permit processing, excess land management, GIS data exchange, and related reporting while meeting rigorous security, compliance, and accessibility standards. TDOT will evaluate responses to shape a future solicitation for a full‑scale implementation, hosting, and ongoing support contract. • Core functional modules include parcel acquisition, relocation compensation tracking, utility conflict management, automated mail‑outs, excess land inventory, GASB‑compliant property accounting, and GIS‑based asset mapping. • Mandatory technical requirements: U.S. on‑shore data residency, FIPS‑validated encryption, annual SOC 2 Type 2 audit, FedRAMP certification, PCI‑DSS compliance, NIST‑based penetration testing, 24‑hour breach reporting, 24‑hour RPO/48‑hour RTO, and strict AI usage controls. • The vendor must be able to host the system, provide disaster‑recovery testing, support up to ~350 concurrent users, and deliver ongoing security and compliance documentation.
