Rail Safety Risk Modeling Framework Design

The contract calls for the design of a functional horizontal risk model framework to enhance rail safety and security oversight across Canada, with a focus on building a scalable system architecture capable of integrating diverse data sources to support actionable risk assessments. The framework must include robust risk scoring mechanisms that identify, quantify, and prioritize safety and security threats in the rail transportation sector, enabling proactive oversight and resource allocation. Development efforts must ensure modularity and adaptability to future data inputs, regulatory changes, and operational demands, with an emphasis on interoperability and long-term sustainability. Work is to be performed within the National Capital Region and must be completed by June 9, 2026, with proposals due by that deadline. This subcontract falls under the NAICS code 541620, reflecting its focus on administrative management and commercial services, and is issued by the Government of Canada through the Department of Transport. While no specific set-aside conditions apply, the project requires technical expertise in risk analytics, data engineering, and safety systems design to deliver a solution that supports national rail infrastructure integrity and public safety objectives.
