The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration intends to award a sole source, firm-fixed-price purchase order to SAE International to support two annual events: the Government/Industry meeting and the Joint Cybersecurity Workshop. Scheduled for January 19-21, 2027, at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center, these events serve as a neutral forum for government policymakers and auto industry representatives to discuss the impact of government actions on vehicle design, safety, emission control, and energy conservation. The effort is jointly supported by the Department of Transportation, Environmental Protection Agency, and Department of Energy.
Under this agreement, NHTSA will provide audio-visual equipment and general support for the workshops. The period of performance extends from the date of the award through January 31, 2027. This acquisition is classified under NAICS code 541820 for public relations agencies and is being pursued on a noncompetitive basis, although the agency is currently seeking information from other interested firms to determine if a competitive acquisition is necessary.

The contractor will be responsible for sustaining the system's production environment, ensuring compliance with cybersecurity standards including NIST RMF, FedRAMP Moderate, and Section 508 accessibility requirements, while also modernizing the platform on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). Key enhancements include developing a new sub-module for State highway safety assessments, modernizing legacy components of TRIPRS, and integrating AI-driven Model Minimum Uniform Crash Criteria (MMUCC) mapping capabilities. The work will follow an Agile framework with iterative delivery via sprints, requiring strict adherence to requirements traceability, automated testing with at least 85% automation, and continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines using DevSecOps practices. All deliverables must be submitted digitally through NHTSA-approved systems, and performance is centered in Washington, D.C., with remote execution permitted.
