About this award
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) awarded a firm fixed-price delivery order valued at $354,534 to Applied Research Associates, Inc. (ARA) on September 16, 2024, under IDIQ Contract 693JJ420D000001. The task order, titled "Understanding International CMV Driver Compensation Methods," required ARA to conduct research and analysis on commercial motor vehicle driver compensation practices internationally. The work was to be performed in Albuquerque, New Mexico, with a period of performance beginning September 16, 2024. However, the contract was terminated for convenience via stop-work order on July 2, 2025, making that date the ultimate completion date. No set-aside designation was used for this award.
ARA engaged two subcontractors to support performance of the task order: Vanasse Hangen Brustlin, Inc. (VHB), a transportation engineering and safety consulting firm headquartered in Massachusetts, was awarded a subcontract on December 2, 2024, and Sound Science Inc. was awarded a subcontract on October 2, 2024. Both subcontractors were tasked with providing personnel, materials, facilities, and management support to complete the work scope. VHB's involvement reflects its extensive experience in transportation safety research and technical services for federal agencies including FMCSA, while ARA's selection leveraged its established capabilities in research, engineering, and technical solutions across multiple federal domains.
