AI Contract Overview

Submissions are limited to two pages of technical description, including organization profile, user experience details, logistical requirements such as power and space preferences, and alignment with USDOT’s safety mission, plus up to two additional pages of supporting imagery. Incomplete submissions will not be supplemented, and applicants risk non-selection if criteria are not met. The USDOT review panel assesses proposals based on safety impact, interactivity, innovativeness, scalability, cost-effectiveness, and theme alignment, and may contact applicants for clarification. Questions must be submitted by June 8, 2026, and all demonstrations must comply with USDOT security protocols, details of which will be provided after selection. Participation does not guarantee inclusion, and selection is solely at USDOT’s discretion based on available space and resources.
