RFI for Moving, Shipping, Transportation and Storage Software

The Personal Property Activity conducts market research to understand how integrating vendor systems with a government central platform via an Application Programming Interface affects household goods moving, shipping, transportation, and storage service providers. The buyer requests detailed information regarding integration costs, software development timelines, industry practices, and recommendations for testing and risk mitigation when connecting vendor software to a central government platform. The vendor software must interface with the central platform using RESTful JSON web services secured by Mutual TLS, maintain OpenAPI compliance, automatically process shipment awards, push real-time lifecycle updates, programmatically upload legible transit documentation like weight tickets and signed Bills of Lading, and submit electronic payment requests directly to the platform. Only onshore USA organizations qualify for this opportunity. The vendor performs the work offsite. Respondents submit responses digitally via email or online, and the buyer seeks proposals for the budget. This Request for Information serves solely for planning purposes, and the buyer will not award a contract or compensate respondents.
