The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), a civilian agency within the U.S. Department of Transportation, awarded an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract valued at $52,518,000 to Engineering & Software Consultants, LLC (ESC) in August 2019. The contract, titled "Research and Technical Support for Infrastructure Laboratories," provides research, analysis, and technical assistance to support FHWA's infrastructure programs, including pavement management, load permitting, and sustainability initiatives. Under this IDIQ, ESC competes for and receives task orders to validate pavement distress prediction models, assess impacts of traffic data on road design, and maintain the national pavement management system. The original solicitation was a small business set-aside, and work is primarily performed at ESC's facility in Chantilly, Virginia through October 2024. Task orders awarded to date include a $1.6 million hybrid firm-fixed-price/time-and-materials contract for research-to-practice technology transfer on internally cured concrete, and a $1.4 million firm-fixed-unit-price task order providing technical and research assistance to FHWA. This IDIQ contract supports FHWA's mission to enhance the nation's highway infrastructure through applied research, testing, and technical expertise.
