About this award
This is a $176,047.46 federal contract awarded by the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), a civilian agency, to the University of South Florida (USF) to develop "innovative approaches to imbed sensors and detection and communications technologies within the track structure to allow for a type of self-enunciation when conditions warrant remedial maintenance or pose a threat to safe rail operations." The contract is a definitive contract with a cost-no-fee pricing type and has no set-aside designation.
USF has subcontracted portions of the work to three entities: Ensco Inc. (a for-profit technology company) for an "autonomous track inspection system based on passive sensing and anomaly detection," the University of Vermont & State Agricultural College for a similar "autonomous track inspection system," and Oregon State University (another public research university) for the same type of "autonomous track inspection system based on passive sensing and anomaly detection." This contract appears to be part of the FRA's broader efforts to enhance rail infrastructure safety and maintenance through advanced sensor and communications technologies.
Description
Innovative approaches to imbed sensors and detection and communications technologies within the track structure to allow for a type of self-enunciation when conditions warrant remedial maintenance or pose a threat to safe rail operations.
