Purchase Order 6913G618P800140

This is a firm fixed-price purchase order contract awarded by the Department of Transportation Immediate Office of the Secretary Transportation to Victoria University, an international organization and educational institution located in Australia. The contract is for $120,000.00 and provides data modeling services focused on the economic and social impacts of highway investment.

The original solicitation was a pre-solicitation notice seeking modeling services to incorporate model refinements, run scenario sets within the USAGE-Hwy model, and provide analysis and reporting. The government intended to award the contract to Victoria University on a sole source basis under FAR Subpart 13.106-1(b) due to their expertise in economic modeling for federal agencies. This contract does not have a set-aside designation.

Victoria University has previously supported federal agencies such as the Department of Commerce, Department of Transportation, International Trade Commission, and Environmental Protection Agency with economic modeling, macroeconomic impact analysis, and software services. This contract appears to leverage their specialized capabilities in this area to inform decisions related to U.S. highway investments.
