FY 26 Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) - Federal Railroad Administration
Solicitation # 693JJ626R000001
The Federal Railroad Administration Office of Research, Development, and Technology is soliciting applied research projects through the FY 2026 Broad Agency Announcement 693JJ626R000001 to support rail safety and efficiency. The scope of work focuses on three primary divisions: Track, Rolling Stock and Equipment, and Train Control and Communications. Interested innovators and subject matter experts must submit concept papers for review, which, if approved, allow for the submission of a full proposal. The solicitation operates on a rolling basis with a final deadline of September 30, 2027, though the agency periodically issues amendments to remove research topics that are no longer available. Recent amendments have removed several track-related topics, including those concerning rail stress, lateral strength, and wheel/rail contact evaluation. Awards may be structured as firm-fixed-price or cost-reimbursable contracts, with technical merit serving as the most significant evaluation factor, followed by cost or price and past performance. Successful contractors are required to provide detailed statements of work, annual research results, and final technical reports, with some deliverables requiring compatibility with Google Docs. Contract administration is managed through the DELPHI system for electronic invoicing, and performance is monitored via monthly and quarterly progress reports.
