About this award
The U.S. Department of Transportation, through the Immediate Office of the Secretary of Transportation, awarded a $27.5K firm fixed-price purchase order to Transportation Technology Center, Inc. (doing business as MXV Rail) on February 12, 2025, for the renewal of two NUCARS software licenses through January 31, 2026. NUCARS is a proprietary rail dynamics simulation software owned by the Association of American Railroads and represents the only validated package capable of predicting the nonlinear dynamic response of North American railroad systems to specified track conditions. This sole-source procurement was justified based on market research conducted in December 2024, which confirmed no viable alternative software exists that could seamlessly integrate with the government's existing vehicle models, as conversion to alternative platforms would require hundreds of labor hours and tens of thousands of dollars in additional costs.
The contract supports the research mission of the John A. Volpe National Transportation Systems Center, which conducts critical transportation systems research and development for the Department of Transportation. MXV Rail, a subsidiary of the Association of American Railroads headquartered in Pueblo, Colorado, specializes in rail systems engineering, testing, and consulting services. The procurement was not subject to a small business set-aside designation and falls under NAICS code 541519 for Other Computer Related Services. The software license is classified under PSC category 7A21 for Business Application Software, providing the federal agency with comprehensive and long-term software usage rights for its specialized transportation research needs.
