About this award
The Federal Highway Administration awarded a $5,663,454.46 definitive contract to Derq USA Inc. for Intersection Safety Systems (ISS) prototyping on October 15, 2026, under no set-aside.
The originating solicitation, posted June 5, 2026 with proposals due July 20, 2026, sought end-to-end prototyping of ISS to address pedestrian fatalities at traffic intersections. The Government anticipated awarding up to three Firm Fixed Price contracts with a combined estimated total value not to exceed $17 million across all awardees and phases. The procurement is structured in two phases: Phase 1 (Base Period, 12–18 months) focuses on prototype development and testing in an access-controlled testbed; Phase 2 (Option Period, 18–24 months) emphasizes prototype refinement and real-world deployment with potential observation-only or operational mitigation capabilities. The solicitation required teaming among a lead ISS developer, public sector partner, and access-controlled roadway testbed provider, though a single organization may fulfill multiple roles. Deliverables include final Concept of Operations documentation, test plans, demonstration summaries, operational readiness summaries, and documented code and data packages aligned with DataHub and CodeHub guidelines.
Place of performance is Ann Arbor, Michigan. Contract completion is scheduled for October 14, 2030. NAICS code 541715 (Research and Development in Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences); PSC AS12 (Transportation R&D Services). Contractors must comply with Section 508 accessibility standards, data sharing on the USDOT ITS DataHub, open-source code sharing where applicable, Section 889, and Executive Order 14398.
