Contracting officer information and contact details
The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Office of Highway Policy Information (HPPI) has issued a Request for Information (RFI) under solicitation number HPPI_RFI_2026 to conduct market research for a future indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) multiple award vehicle. The anticipated contract, expected to be solicited in FY 2027, will support the modernization and management of transportation data programs over an estimated 60-month ordering period. The scope is centered on four primary technical domains: transportation data acquisition and collection, data processing and application effectiveness, the development of improved collection methodologies, and information extraction, visualization, and analytics.
Interested vendors under NAICS 541611 must submit a capability statement of no more than five pages by September 15, 2026. These statements should detail the firm's organizational status, relevant experience across the four data domains, and any existing governmentwide contract vehicles, such as GSA OASIS. The government intends to utilize primarily firm-fixed-price task orders, with specific key personnel and evaluation criteria defined at the task order level. All work must adhere to strict federal PII compliance standards, including NIST SP 800-122 and the Privacy Act of 1974, and all web-based deliverables must be Section 508 compliant.

The Federal Highway Administration is seeking market insight through a Request for Information to modernize its JOBMOD economic modeling tool from a legacy Microsoft Excel-based system to a fully Python-based platform using Py-Shiny for enhanced automation, transparency, and usability. This initiative aims to replace the current JOBMOD 3.1 model, which relies on hard-coded spreadsheets, with a more robust, maintainable system that integrates the latest Bureau of Economic Analysis input-output tables, Bureau of Labor Statistics compensation data, and highway construction cost information from sources like BidTabs and RS Means. The new JOBMOD 4.0 will automate data ingestion, refine technical coefficients for highway improvement categories using Financial Management Information System data, and deliver an interactive dashboard for parameter adjustment and visualization, ensuring stakeholders can easily interpret employment impact estimates tied to federal highway spending. The model will be designed to support policy analysis during economic downturns and workforce planning during periods of labor scarcity.
Interested parties must submit a five-page Capability Statement, excluding resumes, demonstrating their ability to meet technical requirements including Python software development, economic modeling expertise, dashboard creation with Py-Shiny, and full compliance with Section 508 accessibility standards. Applicants must identify their SAM/Unique Entity ID, confirm their size status under NAICS code 541720, and declare any applicable socio-economic classifications such as Small Business, 8(a), or SDVOSB status. The team must include at least one individual with proven experience in applying input-output models and at least one developer with a documented history of building Python-based analytical tools and interactive dashboards. All responses must be submitted by July 7, 2026, to the designated points of contact. The eventual contract, if issued, will be a Firm-Fixed-Price task order with a twelve-month performance period to be carried out at the contractor’s facility, requiring comprehensive documentation, regular biweekly status meetings, monthly progress reports, and formal meeting minutes submitted within two business days after each meeting. The contractor will be responsible for testing and ensuring all deliverables—including reports, policy briefs, and web interfaces—meet federal publishing standards and full Section 508 compliance, and must promptly disclose any organizational conflicts of interest.
