Quick Summary
The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) is seeking non-personal services for a Firm-Fixed-Price purchase order to identify roadway design and infrastructure factors influencing Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) in mitigating rural roadway departure crashes. This effort aims to optimize ADAS performance and enhance safety on rural roads. Quotations are due May 11, 2026.
Purpose & Scope
This opportunity focuses on conducting a comprehensive review and assessment of geometric design elements and infrastructure factors that contribute to optimizing the performance of Roadway Departure (RwD) prevention ADAS technologies (e.g., LDW, LKA, LCA). The study will provide evidence-based insights and actionable recommendations to improve roadway geometric design and infrastructure, maximizing ADAS safety benefits in reducing RwD crashes and fatalities, particularly on rural roadways.
Key tasks include:
- Task 1: Attend a kick-off meeting, develop a work plan, and arrange bi-weekly check-ins.
- Task 2: Collect, extract, integrate, and evaluate roadway geometric design elements and infrastructure factors using data-driven processes, GIS, image-based extraction, historical crash data, and safety analysis.
- Task 3: Develop a comprehensive technical report with outlines, drafts, and presentation materials.
- Task 4: Create marketing and outreach materials, such as a peer-reviewed paper or webinar.
Contract Details
- Contract Type: Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) purchase order.
- Period of Performance: 30 months (24 months for project completion, 6 months for review).
- Set-Aside: None (non-set-aside).
- Product/Service Code: R499 (Other Professional Services).
- Place of Performance: Washington, DC, United States.
Submission & Evaluation
- Submission Requirements: Technical Quote (Technical Approach, Staffing Approach), Price Quote (using provided Pricing Worksheet), Organizational Information, and Past Performance examples.
- Submission Method: Electronically via a SINGLE email, not exceeding 10 Megabytes.
- Evaluation Criteria: Lowest Price Technical Acceptability (LPTA), where technical quotes are rated acceptable/unacceptable.
- Mandatory Requirement: Vendors must have a current active registration in SAM.gov.
Key Deadlines
- Technical Questions Due: May 4, 2026
- Quotation Due Date: May 11, 2026, by 3:00 PM ET
