The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Highway Research and Development Services (HRDS) Technical Support Services Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract is a multi-award vehicle designed to provide technical support services to the FHWA's Office of Safety Research and Development. The contract focuses on transportation safety research, technical analysis, and program support across various domains including highway infrastructure, driver behavior, pedestrian and bicycle safety, and crash prevention. Spanning from 2016 to 2021 with a total potential value of $50 million, this IDIQ enables the FHWA to rapidly procure specialized research and technical services to enhance roadway safety through targeted studies and data analysis.

The task orders under this IDIQ predominantly feature firm fixed-price and time-and-materials contracts with values ranging from $20,000 to approximately $3 million, typically lasting between 12 and 36 months. Three primary prime contractors consistently won task orders: Vanasse Hangen Brustlin (VHB), Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI), and Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University (Virginia Tech). These task orders cover diverse research initiatives such as naturalistic driving studies, safety countermeasure evaluations, infrastructure design analysis, crash modification factor development, and technical support for safety information systems. None of the task orders utilized small business set-aside designations, and performance locations were primarily in Massachusetts, Texas, and Virginia. The research consistently aims to provide actionable insights to improve highway safety through comprehensive data analysis, technical evaluations, and evidence-based recommendations.
