Ongoing Course Development and Support

The National Highway Institute (NHI) Ongoing Course Development and Support Master Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract provides comprehensive training and administrative support services for the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). The contract vehicle encompasses a wide range of services including course development, training material creation, instructional systems design, program management support, marketing communications, media creation, and administrative office support. These services are designed to enhance the FHWA's technical training capabilities and support the agency's educational and professional development initiatives.

The master IDIQ has primarily been awarded to two small businesses: Its Agile, LLC (a minority-owned small business) and Spatial Front Inc. (a minority-owned, woman-owned small business), with task orders ranging from $34,000 to $5.5 million. Typical task orders include instructional systems design support, marketing communications, program management, and administrative services, predominantly using firm fixed-price and time-and-materials pricing structures. The task orders consistently have performance periods between 12-36 months, with most ending between 2022 and 2025. No specific small business set-aside was used for these task orders, though both prime contractors are certified as small disadvantaged businesses. The work is primarily performed in support of the FHWA's Office of Technical Services, with most task orders originating from Arlington, Virginia.
