The U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), intends to award a single-source, Indefinite-Delivery Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contract to The MITRE Corporation for the project titled Surface Transportation Systems Engineering for Enabling Technologies Research and Development. This effort supports the Office of Safety and Operations Research and Development at the Turner-Fairbank Highway Research Center in McLean, Virginia. The contract utilizes a combination of Firm-Fixed-Price and Time-and-Materials/Labor-Hour task orders with a maximum ceiling of 9.8 million dollars and an ordering period of 60 months. The scope of work involves non-personal systems engineering, testing, and research focused on emerging technologies to improve surface transportation safety and efficiency. Key technical areas include artificial intelligence, edge computing, radio frequency spectrum and communications, network engineering, position, navigation, and timing, and cybersecurity. The work is divided into three task areas: systems engineering and technical support including model-based systems engineering, the prototyping and testing of interoperable digital exchange platforms, and communications and stakeholder engagement. The government is seeking a conflict-free entity with neutral, quasi-governmental capabilities similar to a Federally Funded Research and Development Center to ensure objective technical agency and unbiased data governance.
