About this vehicle
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration established the DOT Research and Technology IDIQ on April 16, 2014, with a $30 million shared ceiling and a last date to order of April 15, 2019. Ordering closed seven years ago; the vehicle is no longer active.
The IDIQ funded commercial motor vehicle safety research spanning driver behavior, vehicle maintenance, crash analysis, automated braking systems, electronic logging devices, naturalistic driving studies, and regulatory enforcement impacts. Twenty-six task orders totaling $17.2 million in combined potential value were awarded between April 2014 and September 2019, with obligated dollars reaching $16.6 million (96% of the combined potential value). The ordering rate peaked in 2016–2017 at seven to eight orders per year, then declined to two orders in 2019 before the vehicle reached its ordering deadline.
Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University dominated the vehicle, capturing 15 of 26 orders and $13.5 million of the $17.2 million combined potential value—roughly 79% of all work. Battelle Memorial Institute held the second position with seven orders worth $2.4 million, followed by the Regents of the University of Michigan with three orders worth $1 million. Transanalytics LLC received one order. All task orders were unrestricted competition; no set-asides were used. The single customer throughout the vehicle's lifecycle was the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration.
Individual task-order values ranged from $100 thousand to $4 million, with representative mid-range orders at $335 thousand to $1.8 million. Task durations typically spanned one to two years, often with no-cost extensions for government-caused delays, including pandemic-related slowdowns documented in orders awarded in September 2019.
No new opportunities remain under this vehicle.
