About this award
The Federal Highway Administration awarded a $248,495 definitive contract to the University of Texas at Austin for performance-based framework research implementing next-generation binders in concrete bridges on September 28, 2026, with no set-aside used.
The originating Broad Agency Announcement Call 002 solicits research to benchmark innovative binder technologies—including geopolymers, chemical-based strength enhancers, recycled waste products, and novel binder chemistries—for concrete construction. Proposals must benchmark performance against Class A concrete with a 28-day compressive strength target of 4000 psi, evaluating strength and service limit states including flexure, axial loading, shear, fatigue, deflection, durability characteristics such as corrosion resistance, freeze-thaw resistance, and sulfate resistance. The evaluation emphasizes technical merit, feasibility, and quality of proposed benchmarking methodologies. The BAA anticipated multiple awards with a performance period not to exceed 24 months. The white paper submission deadline was January 22, 2026, with full proposals due April 6, 2026. The solicitation was amended on March 6, 2026. Place of performance is Austin, TX 78712. The contract completion date is September 27, 2028.
