The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) awarded a Cost Plus Fixed Fee delivery order to Sharma & Associates Inc., a minority-owned small disadvantaged business headquartered in Hinsdale, Illinois, with a ceiling value of $246,931.11. The contract, which operated under the Research Development Test and Evaluation master IDIQ vehicle, tasked the contractor with comparing simulation results across two train longitudinal dynamics programs—TEDS and TOES—using a defined set of simulation inputs encompassing train definition, track definition, and train characteristics. This work directly supports the FRA's Office of Safety in validating and enhancing critical simulation tools used for railroad safety analysis and research.
The delivery order was awarded on September 27, 2021, and reached its ultimate completion date of March 26, 2023. This modification action de-obligated excess funds in the amount of $66.89 and closed out the contract in accordance with FAR 4.804-5. No socioeconomic set-aside was utilized for this award. Sharma & Associates, which has been registered in SAM.gov since 2004, has established itself as a technically sophisticated engineering firm specializing in railway mechanical and infrastructure engineering, with extensive experience supporting FRA safety research initiatives including train dynamics, derailment risk assessment, and tank car testing.
