The Department of Transportation awarded CDM Federal Programs Corporation a multiple-award indefinite delivery contract under the Build America Bureau Market Demand Advisory Services master IDIQ. With a potential value of $3.75 million and a period of performance through August 2024, this IDV enables the agency to issue delivery orders for professional advisory services to support the Bureau's market demand programs. Specifically, the original solicitation sought consulting expertise in areas like public-private partnerships, asset recycling, and innovative project financing to advance the DOT's infrastructure goals. CDM Smith, doing business as CDM Smith, will draw on its integrated solutions experience in transportation, facilities, water, environment, and energy to provide advisory and technical assistance as required under subsequent task orders. No set-aside designation was applied to this multiple-award IDV.
The IDV establishes a contracting vehicle through which the Build America Bureau can access CDM Smith's advisory capabilities on an as-needed basis nationwide. Delivery orders are anticipated to fund services that analyze market demand, structure public-private financing opportunities, and develop other strategies to attract private investment in U.S. surface transportation infrastructure through programs administered by the Bureau. This type of indefinite delivery contract enables the agency to efficiently procure specialized consulting support on transportation infrastructure initiatives as its market demand programs evolve over the award period.
