AI Contract Overview

The Department of Transportation, through the Federal Highway Administration, is soliciting proposals under Broad Agency Announcement 693JJ3-26-BAA-0005 to develop and test industry-led Cooperative Driving Automation (CDA) prototypes. The primary objective is to bridge the gap between research and commercial viability by validating CDA technologies at Technology Readiness Levels 6-7. This effort focuses on improving roadway safety and operational efficiency through vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication, specifically targeting use cases such as work zone management, traffic incident management, cooperative perception, and emergency or transit vehicle awareness. The project is estimated to have a total value of 5,000,000 dollars over a 24-month period of performance, with a target of 18 months for technical activities and a 6-month buffer for final reporting and publication. The program follows a two-phase approach: Phase 1 requires validation of interoperability, functional safety, and cybersecurity within a controlled testbed environment, while Phase 2 involves an optional small-scale demonstration on public roads with mixed traffic. To advance to Phase 2, prototypes must pass an Operational Readiness Review and a safety gate. Technical requirements include adherence to SAE J3216, SAE J3016 Level 1+, and interoperability standards such as IEEE or SAE J2735, as well as compliance with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards and the Americans with Disabilities Act. Proposals are evaluated based on technical merit, availability of funds, and cost realism, with a sequential review process requiring a High Confidence rating in technical merit to proceed. Submissions must include a technical proposal and a business/cost volume, with specific requirements for AI disclosure and small business subcontracting plans for non-small business prime offerors.

Full Description

UPDATE:

On August 24, 2026 a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) amendment was issued, see amended BAA in the attachments section titled "693JJ3-26-BAA-0005_A00001_CDA Prototype". Additionally, the complete Q&A was posted as a PDF titled "Q A - Complete". Note that the due date for proposals was extended.

BACKGROUND:

USDOT envisions a future transportation ecosystem where CDA complements both human-driven and automated vehicles to improve roadway safety, mobility, and operational efficiency. While standalone vehicle automation has advanced, it continues to struggle with complex edge cases such as occlusion, complex merging, or identifying pedestrians hidden behind buildings at corners, and vehicle sensors alone cannot adequately resolve these issues.

Prior USDOT-supported research projects have successfully demonstrated the technical proof-of-concept at technology readiness levels (TRL) of 3-5 for CDA applications in laboratory and closed environments. However, most new vehicles are not equipped with CDA capabilities and Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) remain reluctant to integrate these technologies into production lines due to a lack of consumer awareness and unclear regulatory, policy, and institutional frameworks.

This acquisition seeks to build on foundational CDA research by bridging the gap between research concepts and commercial viability. There is a critical need to develop and test pre-production, industry-led prototypes at a TRL of 6-7, to validate that the data shared between vehicles and roadside infrastructure is accurate, secure, and reliable enough to support functional safety. By demonstrating CDA technologies in operational conditions, researchers will gain a better understanding of cooperative systems and if they are more valuable in terms of improving roadway safety, than standalone automation or vehicle-to-everything (V2X) technologies alone.

PURPOSE:

The purpose of this requirement is to demonstrate industry-led CDA prototypes in controlled and real-world conditions in order to generate data-driven insights that will support the development of a national strategy to deploy CDA across rural, suburban, and urban roadway systems. This effort prioritizes industry-ready CDA technology for use cases with clear safety and/or mobility benefit potential, specifically focusing on: (1) Work Zone Management, (2) Traffic Incident Management, (3) Cooperative Perception, and/or (4) Emergency/Transit Vehicle Awareness.

Contractors will first validate the prototype's interoperability, functional safety, and cybersecurity in a relevant, controlled testbed environment. Following successful controlled testing, the effort will progress into a small scale real-world demonstration on public roads with mixed traffic to validate operational readiness and generate data-driven insights.
