Description
The Eastern Transportation Coalition (ETC) is seeking market input for the fourth edition of its Transportation Data Marketplace (TDM V4). This RFI is intended to gather vendor feedback on data licensing terms, privacy and PII warranties, liability limitations, AI/ML usage policies, security incident notification, intellectual‑property feedback clauses, and pricing structures for a national‑scale data marketplace that will serve all 50 U.S. states. Respondents may submit information on core data products (e.g., waypoint/trajectory, connected‑vehicle, LBS, origin‑destination data) as well as ancillary analytics services that operate on the licensed data. The solicitation includes a series of detailed questions and answers (Amendment 4) and requires respondents to acknowledge receipt of the amendment before the final response deadline.
• Goal: Capture vendor capabilities, data‑product portfolios, and policy positions to shape the final RFP.
• Scope: Data licensing, privacy compliance, liability, AI/ML usage, security breach notification, IP feedback licensing, and pricing models for a nationwide data sharing platform.
• Respondents: Data vendors (core data categories) and firms offering related analytics or verification services.
• Deadline: October 13 2026 12:00 PM ET (extended from Oct 12 due to a holiday).
• Submission: Electronic response to the University of Maryland procurement office; acknowledgment of amendment required.
• No award or contract value is disclosed at this stage; the RFI is purely informational.
