Innovative Autonomous Transportation Capabilities for Global Operations

The United States Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM) is seeking industry input through a Request for Information (RFI) titled "Innovative Autonomous Transportation Capabilities for Global Operations" under solicitation number TRANSCOM26C005, posted on May 11, 2026, with responses due by May 26, 2026. This RFI is a market research tool with no intent to award a contract, and it does not include binding contract clauses, evaluation factors, pricing data, or acquisition terms. It aims to gather technical insights across all transportation modes—air, land, sea, and multi-modal—for both passenger and cargo movements, focusing on current autonomous capabilities, developmental roadmaps spanning three to ten years, scalability, interoperability with existing logistics systems, cybersecurity resilience, and regulatory navigation. Respondents must submit unclassified materials in PDF or standard commercial formats, limited to 15 pages excluding cover pages and marketing brochures, and must clearly mark any proprietary information. Submissions are to be emailed to Brenda Marshall at USTRANSCOM’s Directorate of Acquisition at Scott Air Force Base, Illinois, the designated place of performance and point of contact. No set-asides, socioeconomic certifications, Unique Entity ID, or CAGE codes are required, and compliance with FAA, DOT, and IMO regulations is expected but no specific military standards like MIL-STD are cited. The government seeks to understand industry innovation to inform future planning without establishing any procurement obligation or contractual relationship as a result of this inquiry.
