FTA Broad Agency Announcement (FY26) -- “Research Initiatives in Support of Safety, Accessibility, and Mobility in Public Transportation
Solicitation # 693195-26-BAA-0001
The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Office of Research, Demonstration, and Innovation has issued a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) soliciting applied research projects to enhance the safety, reliability, efficiency, and accessibility of public transportation in the United States. This unrestricted solicitation is open to any responsible source, excluding Federal Government-owned businesses, and encourages teaming and collaboration. The program focuses on technology readiness levels 3 through 6, with a preference for proof-of-concept testing. Research topics include community connectivity, accessibility for automated vehicles, urban rail innovations, ferry safety, and transit safety data analytics. Individual awards typically range from $150,000 to $500,000, and while cost sharing is not mandatory, projects that include transit operator partnerships and cost sharing are preferred. The selection process follows a two-step approach requiring an initial concept paper and project quad chart, followed by a detailed technical and cost proposal if invited. Following Amendment 0002, the due date for submissions has been extended to November 6, 2026. Awards are anticipated as firm-fixed-price or level-of-effort term contracts, though cost-reimbursable contracts may be considered with justification. Evaluation is based on a trade-off process where technical merit and importance to agency programs are significantly more important than cost. Successful contractors must comply with strict reporting requirements, including a Data Management Plan, semi-annual Technology Transfer Reports, and a final technical report that is 100 percent Section 508 compliant. Administrative requirements include mandatory electronic invoicing via the DELPHI iSupplier system and adherence to NIST SP 800-171 for protecting controlled unclassified information.

Information Technology Support Services (ITSS)
Solicitation # 70RSAT25FC0000007
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Science and Technology Directorate is preparing to extend Task Order 70RSAT25FC0000007 for Information Technology Support Services with Silosmashers, Inc. under the existing Blanket Purchase Agreement, without competition, for a 10-month period from August 1, 2026, through May 31, 2027. This extension is justified under 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1) and FAR Subpart 6.103-1 due to the unique and specialized knowledge Silosmashers holds regarding DHS S&T’s IT infrastructure, workflows, and stakeholder expectations. The contractor provides critical services including enterprise architecture alignment with federal standards such as FEAF and TOGAF, information assurance and ISSO support for classified systems and SCIFs, and day-to-day IT operations including help desk, patch management, and asset tracking. A competitive recompete has been delayed due to FY26 funding lapses, and transitioning to a new vendor before completion of the acquisition process would introduce unacceptable risks including security vulnerabilities, noncompliance with mandates, service disruptions, and mission degradation. The incumbent’s established relationships, institutional knowledge, and continuous operational presence are essential to maintaining uninterrupted support for DHS S&T’s mission-critical systems, including SharePoint, ServiceNow, and Microsoft Power Platform. All hardware, networks, enterprise architecture, information assurance, and service delivery functions are covered under this task order, with performance based in Reston, Virginia, and administrative oversight from Washington, D.C. The requirement is classified as a Total Small Business Set-Aside under NAICS code 541512. While no solicitation document exists and this notice is solely for informational purposes, interested parties may submit their capabilities to the Contracting Officer for potential consideration. The government retains full discretion to proceed with the sole-source modification to ensure continuity of mission support, and all inquiries must be directed in writing to Danette Williams at [email hidden].
