About this IDV

The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), a civilian agency within the Department of Transportation, established an Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDV) with Transportation Technology Center, Inc. (doing business as MXV Rail) to support the Care, Custody, and Control of the Transportation Technology Center program. The IDC, awarded on September 28, 2011, with a ceiling value of $60 million and an ultimate completion date of September 30, 2022, serves as the overarching vehicle for issuing delivery orders to fund research, testing, engineering, and facility management activities at the Transportation Technology Center in Pueblo, Colorado. MXV Rail is a subsidiary of the non-profit Associates of American Railroads and specializes in rail systems engineering, prototype development, test track operations, and training services. No set-aside designation was applied to the IDC award.

The task orders issued under this IDC collectively represent a comprehensive portfolio of rail safety, infrastructure modernization, and automation initiatives spanning from 2018 through 2024, with individual delivery orders valued between approximately $36,000 and $3.4 million. Deliverables include development of automated train operation system requirements and safety analysis, sensor platform frameworks, train braking simulation environments, reliability and maintainability modeling tools, rail flaw inspection methodologies, broken rail detection technologies, positive train location system components, and qualified moving block rail operation concepts. Additional task orders support specialized activities such as full-scale tank car impact testing, train-to-train collision testing, wireless communications roadmap development, track data auditing system validation, facility improvements, personnel and material support for the FRA's Technical Training Standards Division, and administrative and program management services. All work is performed on a cost-plus-fixed-fee, cost-plus-award-fee, firm fixed-price, cost-no-fee, or time-and-materials basis in Pueblo, Colorado, with completion dates primarily clustered between 2020 and 2024.
