Description

MassDOT is seeking detailed information from qualified vendors as part of its evaluation process for the gNext Platform. The Aeronautics Division oversees drone-based inspections for over 5,000 bridges across Massachusetts and currently faces slow and resource-heavy data processing. There is no centralized platform to process, store, and share results with highway districts. The division aims to bring on gNext Labs to speed up workflow and deliver 3D bridge inspection models accessible from any browser. This Request for Information (RFI) is intended to understand capabilities, architectural approaches, licensing models, and implementation considerations of the gNext platform to inform future procurement strategies.
