About this award
The Federal Highway Administration awarded a $250,000 definitive contract to Wiss, Janney, Elstner Associates, Inc. for evaluation of an ASTM C1157 slag cement for use in infrastructure on September 1, 2026, with no set-aside used.
The originating Broad Agency Announcement (BAA Call 002) sought research proposals to benchmark next-generation binder technologies for concrete construction, including geopolymers, chemical-based strength enhancers, recycled waste products, and novel binder chemistries. Performance evaluation focuses on strength and service limit states—flexure, axial loading, shear, fatigue, deflection—and durability characteristics including corrosion resistance, freeze-thaw resistance, and sulfate resistance. Benchmarking is performed against industrially produced Class A concrete with a 28-day compressive strength target of 4,000 psi. The solicitation, posted November 14, 2025, and amended March 6, 2026, anticipated multiple awards with no fixed ceiling; this award represents one such selection from proposals due April 6, 2026.
Place of performance is Northbrook, Illinois. The contract runs through August 31, 2028, on a firm fixed-price basis. Wiss, Janney, Elstner Associates, Inc. is a self-certified small disadvantaged business.
