Regulatory & Compliance Strategy for Autonomous Systems

The contract seeks the development of compliance strategies for autonomous systems aligned with regulatory frameworks from the FAA, IMO, and DOT, focusing on establishing viable certification pathways and implementing robust risk mitigation plans. This effort is designed to ensure that autonomous technologies meet federal safety, operational, and legal standards across aviation, maritime, and terrestrial domains, with particular emphasis on real-world deployment readiness and regulatory alignment. The work requires deep expertise in federal transportation regulations and the ability to navigate complex certification requirements under multiple agencies. The contract is classified as a subcontract under NAICS code 541611, issued by the U.S. Transportation Command under the Department of Defense, with performance expected to occur at Scott Air Force Base, ZIP 62225. It was posted on May 11, 2026, and responses are due by May 26, 2026, at 5:00 PM Eastern Time. Although no set-aside provisions or point of contact details are specified, the project is critical to advancing DoD’s capability to integrate autonomous systems compliantly into national transportation infrastructure.
