Contracting officer information and contact details
The U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration, Office of Acquisition and Grants Management intends to award a single-award, Indefinite-Delivery Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contract to The Open Mobility Foundation (OMF) for Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Multimodal Standards Development, Maintenance and Related Activities. This sole-source procurement, conducted under FAR 6.103-1 and 6.103-3, is based on OMF's unique qualifications as a nonprofit standards development organization responsible for the Mobility Data Specification (MDS) and Curb Data Specification (CDS). The contract will utilize Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) and Time-and-Materials (T&M) / Labor-Hour task orders over a 60-month ordering period, with a minimum guarantee of 25,000 dollars and a maximum ceiling of 9,800,000 dollars inclusive of labor, travel, and materials.
The scope of work involves providing non-personal services for systems engineering development, research, testing, maintenance, and stakeholder engagement to support the USDOT ITS-JPO Multimodal Standards Program. Primary objectives include the development and maintenance of non-proprietary, consensus-based multimodal ITS standards and supporting the nationwide adoption of these technologies through validation and reference implementations. Interested parties may submit capability statements electronically by October 21, 2026, which will be evaluated solely to determine if a competitive procurement is necessary. The effort is categorized under NAICS code 813920 and is managed by the Office of Acquisition and Grants Management in Washington, DC.
The U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), intends to award a single-award, Indefinite-Delivery Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contract to the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE), Inc. under solicitation 693JJ326R000024. This sole-source procurement is based on the need to maintain essential engineering and research capabilities for the development, testing, and maintenance of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) infrastructure standards. The contract will support the ITS Joint Program Office (ITS-JPO) through non-personal systems engineering services, focusing on the National Transportation Communications for ITS Protocol (NTCIP), Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) and vehicle automation, cybersecurity standards, and secure transportation data exchanges. Additionally, the scope includes industry outreach, education, and training to improve the utilization of these standards.
The contract features a five-year ordering period with a maximum ceiling of 20 million dollars, which includes labor, travel, and materials, and a minimum guarantee of 50,000 dollars. Task orders will be issued as either Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) or Time-and-Materials/Labor-Hour. While the government intends to negotiate directly with ITE, it has requested capability statements from other responsible sources by October 10, 2026, to determine if a competitive procurement is warranted. The primary point of contact for this effort is Contract Specialist Malik Arnold.
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.

The Department of Transportation, through the Federal Highway Administration Intelligent Transportation Systems Joint Program Office, has issued a Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition for solicitation 693JJ323F00273N. This action serves as a sole source, non-competitive, out-of-scope modification to an existing task order with Iteris, Inc. to provide system architectures for intelligent transportation standardization, deployment, and evolution.
The primary purpose of this modification is to increase the contract ceiling by 450,000 dollars, raising the total from 9,499,385 dollars to 9,949,385 dollars. These funds are intended to support the Digital Corridors Initiative and ensure the continued maintenance of the National ITS Reference Architecture while a successor task order is developed for future competition. The work is associated with NAICS code 541990 and is managed by the Acquisition And Grants Mgt office in Washington, DC, with performance occurring in Santa Ana, California.

The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Highway Administration is conducting market research under Sources Sought Notice 693JJ3-26-SS-0012 to assess industry capability in providing comprehensive Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Multimodal Standards Development, Maintenance, and Support Activities. This notice seeks information on organizations capable of evolving existing standards, developing new ones, and ensuring interoperability across multimodal transportation systems through consensus-based processes, technical validation, and real-world field testing. The work involves creating and maintaining nonproprietary standards for areas such as Complete Trips, Digital Curb Interfaces, Multimodal Service Integration, and C2C/C2T communications, with deliverables including API specifications, Postman Collections, reference implementations, training materials, and governance frameworks aligned with ARC-IT and federal ITS initiatives. All submissions must be consolidated into a single PDF of no more than 15 pages, containing a cover letter, table of contents, acronym list, and detailed technical and management approaches, past performance, and corporate experience. Responses are due by May 13, 2026, and must be emailed to the designated points of contact; no other submission methods are accepted. The notice explicitly states that it is purely for informational and planning purposes and does not constitute a solicitation or commitment to award a contract, nor will the Government reimburse respondents for any costs incurred in preparing their input. Respondents are required to provide their Unique Entity ID, certify their small or other-than-small business status under NAICS code 813920, and indicate any applicable socioeconomic designations such as 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or WOSB. Those holding existing GSA MAS, FSS, or OASIS+ contracts must list them.
