About this award
The Federal Highway Administration awarded a $250,000 definitive contract to Iowa State University of Science and Technology for research and benchmarking of next-generation binder technologies for concrete construction on August 24, 2026, with no set-aside applied.
The originating solicitation, issued as Broad Agency Announcement Call 002, seeks benchmarking of innovative cement and supplementary materials including geopolymers, chemical-based strength enhancers, recycled waste products, and novel binder chemistries. Performance must benchmark against industrially produced Class A concrete with a 28-day compressive strength target of 4,000 psi, with evaluation across both strength and service limit states including flexure, axial loading, shear, fatigue, deflection, and durability characteristics such as corrosion resistance, freeze-thaw resistance, and sulfate resistance. The solicitation encourages proposals that include structural testing data on reinforced concrete elements. Period of performance runs through August 23, 2028. Place of performance is Ames, Iowa.
