This draft is intended solely for informational and planning purposes and does not constitute a binding offer or guarantee of future contracting. The government is seeking input from capable sources to ensure the final SIR accurately reflects the scope of work, but is not requesting proposals at this stage. Responders are responsible for any costs incurred in preparing their feedback, which should be submitted via email using the provided comment matrix by May 20, 2025, at noon Eastern Time. All responses should be clearly marked and proprietary information must be properly identified and safeguarded according to government regulations. The contract, managed by the Department of Transportation’s Office in Washington, DC, falls under NAICS code 541330 and is part of a presolicitation process aimed at gathering industry insights. The government emphasizes that the draft documents are not final and may be revised before the official SIR is issued.
