Are there resources for small or minority firms?

The Indianapolis MPO enjoys partnering with a wide variety of consulting from across the country, each bringing their own perspective, experience, and expertise. Our contract process strictly follows our adopted Procurement Policy & Procedures, but in some cases State and Federal statutes have clear preferences for local and minority-owned firms.

The federal process can be intimidating - especially for newer, smaller firms - but there are plenty of ways to learn how we work and get your foot in the door. Here are some tips to get a running start:

  • Follow us on Twitter.
  • Like us on Facebook.
  • Sign up for notifications when agendas are posted.
  • Sign up for the teMPO newsletter to stay informed.
  • Check out our calendar to see what meetings are coming up, attend the meetings, and introduce yourself to IMPO management while you’re there.
  • Review our annual Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) to see what projects we’ve budgeted for the year.
  • Reach out to IMPO management for an in-person meeting to learn about upcoming opportunities before each RFP is released.
  • Sign up for our Vendor list to receive all of our RFPs and other bidding opportunities
  • Respond directly to IMPO project managers whenever you see an interesting procurement opportunity.
  • Attend pre-bid meetings with IMPO project managers, held prior to RFP release on any planning project larger than $150,000. This is a great opportunity to meet with other firms that may be interested in the project who are looking for partners.
  • If eligible, register as a Disadvantaged Owned Business Enterprise (DBE) with the State of Indiana / Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT). Also, if you’re eligible and interested in working with the City of Indianapolis, register as a Minority, Women, Veteran, and/or Disabled Owned Business (XBE) with them too.
  • Register your entity to become a federal funding recipient on SAM.gov and receive a Unique Identification Number (UEI), allowing you to bid on contracts and apply for federal assistance. This is a requirement for all vendors who receive federal funding.
  • Complete an Indianapolis Marion County vendor profile.
  • View the required forms submitted with each RFP including insurance requirements, reference requirements, and other submission packet materials.


For a register of RFP proposals, please send an e-mail to procurement@indympo.gov. Only RFPs since December 2020 are available for this request.
