About this award
The Federal Railroad Administration awarded the University of North Dakota's Division of Research & Economic Development a definitive firm fixed-price contract valued at $416,791 to purchase research and development services supporting railroad substructure moisture measurement and monitoring using hyperspectral imagery. The contract, awarded September 19, 2022, with an ultimate completion date of September 18, 2026, aims to determine the feasibility of employing hyperspectral imagery as a method for measuring moisture content in railroad substructure materials. The work will be performed in Washington, DC, and carries no set-aside designation. A modification to the contract added the revised Tax Accounting Requirement clause (TAR Class Deviation 2025-02) for invoicing and payment processing across new and existing contracts and orders through bilateral modification.
University of North Dakota, a major public research institution with established expertise across aerospace, energy, environmental science, and advanced engineering, engaged North Dakota State University as a subcontractor beginning December 5, 2023, to support the railroad substructure moisture measurement and monitoring project. NDSU, a comprehensive land-grant research institution, brings specialized capabilities in laboratory testing, advanced research and development, and scientific infrastructure support. This collaborative arrangement leverages complementary research strengths between the two North Dakota institutions to advance federal railroad infrastructure assessment capabilities, with the parent organization—North Dakota University System—providing institutional oversight for contract execution and federal compliance.
