Cooperative Driving Automation (CDA) Small-Scale Industry Prototype
Solicitation # 693JJ3-26-BAA-0005
The U.S. Department of Transportation is seeking industry-led prototypes to demonstrate Cooperative Driving Automation (CDA) technologies that enhance roadway safety, mobility, and operational efficiency by enabling communication between vehicles and roadside infrastructure. This effort addresses critical gaps in current vehicle automation systems, which struggle with edge cases like occlusion and complex intersections, by validating CDA solutions that provide cooperative perception, work zone management, traffic incident response, and emergency/transit vehicle awareness. The project requires development of pre-production prototypes at Technology Readiness Levels 6–7, starting with rigorous testing in controlled environments to verify interoperability, functional safety, and cybersecurity, followed by small-scale real-world demonstrations on public roads with mixed traffic. Successful proposals must align with USDOT’s national strategy for CDA deployment across rural, suburban, and urban settings, and must show clear superiority over standalone automation or basic V2X systems through quantifiable safety and mobility gains. Contractors must form multidisciplinary teams led by OEMs, Tier 1 suppliers, or autonomous driving system developers, with verified partnerships with infrastructure owner-operators and independent evaluators. Proposals must include comprehensive plans for system integration compliant with SAE J2735, IEEE 1609.2, and other applicable standards, along with security-by-design implementations such as SCMS/PKI, message authentication, and misbehavior detection. A robust Test and Evaluation Plan, Safety Management Plan, and Operational Readiness Review process are mandatory, supported by Key Performance Indicators measuring latency, accuracy, and system efficiency. The project has a 24-month timeline, with a mandatory 18-month controlled testing phase and an optional 6-month real-world demonstration phase contingent on successful review. Proposals are evaluated first on technical merit—with high confidence required to proceed—then on funding availability, and only finally on cost realism. Maximum contract value is $5 million, with submissions limited to 30 pages in the technical volume and requiring UEI registration, small business subcontracting plans if applicable, and full compliance with security, accessibility, DEI, and data sharing mandates including FAR clauses 52.240-90, 52.240-91, and 52.222-90. All data and software developed must be shared openly via USDOT’s ITS DataHub and CodeHub with unlimited government rights unless correctly marked as proprietary.
