The BPA permits the issuance of call orders utilizing various pricing mechanisms including Firm Fixed Price (FFP), Labor Hour (LH), Time and Materials (T&M), and hybrid pricing structures. No set-aside designation was employed for this procurement vehicle. The agreement establishes a flexible contracting framework enabling the FHWA to issue delivery orders on an as-needed basis through September 24, 2029, allowing the agency to procure specialized technical services without the delays associated with full and open competition on individual requirements.
Under this BPA, ARA has received a hybrid FFP and T&M call order valued at $527,617, awarded November 1, 2025, for the "Proven Safety Countermeasures Update, Communications, Marketing, and Technical Support" project. Work is being performed in Albuquerque, New Mexico, with an ultimate completion date of October 31, 2028. This task order directs ARA to develop, update, and communicate proven safety countermeasures to advance the FHWA's highway safety program objectives while providing technical support and marketing outreach services. ARA's engagement aligns with the company's demonstrated expertise in research and engineering support across multiple FHWA contract vehicles, including prior delivery orders and task orders focused on transportation planning, pavement design, traffic data collection, and safety initiatives totaling millions of dollars in prior federal obligations.
