Parsons Corporation has been selected by the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) to modernize the state's transportation systems management and operations through a $33 million contract. The agreement encompasses the enterprise-level deployment of Parsons’ iNET intelligent transportation software platform, as well as comprehensive system design, software development, integration, testing, and operations and maintenance services. This strategic initiative is designed to enhance the efficiency and safety of New York's transportation network by centralizing operations into a single, statewide view.

The contract establishes a major statewide anchor for Parsons, adding to its existing portfolio of advanced traffic management system deployments in Georgia and New Jersey. Mark Fialkowski, president of Infrastructure North America for Parsons, emphasized that the modernization reflects a forward-looking investment to enable agencies to operate safer, smarter, and more resilient transportation networks. He noted that Parsons brings deep experience and proven software to support NYSDOT’s goal of advancing a unified platform for real-time operations across the state.

Under the terms of the agreement, Parsons will deliver a fully integrated freeway and arterial advanced traffic management system covering NYSDOT’s 11 districts. The scope of work includes replacing central processing unit cards for more than 6,000 traffic signal controllers statewide. This upgrade is intended to strengthen coordination across districts and support the agency’s long-term TSMO strategy, ultimately improving how transportation systems are managed and delivering reliable mobility for the public.

Project Scope and Key Deliverables

The project focuses on leveraging Parsons’ infrastructure market knowledge and technology solutions to deliver advanced digital mobility solutions. Key components of the contract include:

• System Design and Development: Creating a robust software architecture tailored to NYSDOT’s requirements.
• Integration and Testing: Ensuring seamless connectivity between various traffic management devices and the central platform.
• Operations and Maintenance: Providing ongoing support to ensure system reliability and performance.
• Hardware Replacement: Upgrading critical infrastructure components across the state.

Parsons’ iNET platform serves as the core technology for this deployment, offering capabilities to monitor, manage, and improve road safety and efficiency. The company has a track record of deploying its Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS) and Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) solutions more than 100 times globally, connecting thousands of devices and traffic signals.

Strategic Impact and Market Position

This award represents new work for Parsons and reinforces its position as a leader in providing disruptive technology solutions for national security and global infrastructure markets. By utilizing digital solutions such as ATMS, ITS, digital twins, and artificial intelligence, Parsons aims to extend the longevity of infrastructure while elevating the quality of life for commuters. The company’s extensive experience spans roads, highways, bridges, rail, public transit, airports, and ports, enabling it to address complex transportation challenges effectively.

Space Ground System Solutions, Inc. (SGSS), a wholly owned Parsons Corporation subsidiary, secured a five-year, $245 million indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract from the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL). The agreement covers software development, sustainment, and operations support for critical satellite mission systems, reinforcing Parsons' role in national security space capabilities.

Contract Scope and Legacy

Under the Blossom Point Tracking Facility Software and Operations Support contract, Parsons will build on 30 years of continuous support for NRL’s government-owned applications. The work involves designing, testing, maintaining, and enhancing mission-critical software modules, including configuration control and cybersecurity for space and ground systems.

The primary systems supported under this contract include:

Strategic Importance

Rob McDonough, vice president of Space Operations Services at Parsons, stated that the award underscores the company's role in delivering resilient, mission-ready space capabilities. He emphasized the contract reinforces Parsons' ability to engineer and sustain secure, software-defined mission systems that provide operational advantage in contested space domains.

The U.S. Naval Research Laboratory serves as the Department of the Navy’s premier research institution. Through this partnership, Parsons will support NRL's mission to transition cutting-edge technologies to operational use across the Department of War.
