Innovative Autonomous Transportation Capabilities for Global Operations

The United States Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM) has issued a Request for Information (RFI) titled "Innovative Autonomous Transportation Capabilities for Global Operations," seeking input from industry on advanced autonomous transport technologies applicable across air, land, sea, and multi-modal domains. This sources-sought RFI, posted on May 11, 2026, and due May 26, 2026, is strictly for market research and planning purposes and does not constitute a solicitation or contract. USTRANSCOM aims to gather detailed information on commercial autonomous solutions for both passenger and cargo transportation, emphasizing current capabilities, developmental roadmaps for a 3–10 year horizon, scalability, interoperability with military and commercial logistics systems, cybersecurity resilience, and strategies for navigating relevant regulatory environments such as FAA, IMO, and DOT standards. Respondents are asked to provide unclassified submissions, limited to 15 pages excluding cover and marketing materials, presenting company profiles, technology readiness levels, payload capacity, range, timelines, and compliance approaches. This RFI contains no binding contractual clauses, award criteria, or contract administration data typical of formal solicitations, as it is intended solely as an information-gathering tool. No pricing, delivery schedules, or inspection and acceptance requirements apply, and no socioeconomic set-asides or certifications are requested. The place of performance for any potential future requirements is Scott Air Force Base, Illinois. Single point of contact for submissions and inquiries is Ms. Brenda Marshall of USTRANSCOM’s Directorate of Acquisition. Submissions must be unclassified and may be sent via email or traditional mail in PDF or standard commercial document formats. Information collected will inform future acquisition planning but imposes no obligation on the government to award contracts or issue solicitations.
