Technical Support for Highway Safety

The Federal Highway Administration's Office of Safety established a Master IDIQ on August 12, 2020, to procure technical and general services supporting its highway safety program, including policy and regulatory analysis, safety evaluations, data analysis, course development and delivery, and marketing and communications activities. Ordering closed on August 11, 2025, and the vehicle is no longer accepting new task orders.

The combined potential value of the 19 task orders awarded under this vehicle is $7.4 million, with $6.4 million obligated (86% of combined potential). Activity peaked in 2021 with nine orders; subsequent years saw declining volume (six orders in 2022, two in 2023, and one in 2024). The most recent order, awarded August 30, 2024, for roadway departure strategic plan updates, carried a ceiling of $75,090.

Leidos, Inc., dominates the vehicle, holding nine orders representing $4.7 million of combined potential value. Cambridge Systematics, Inc., holds six orders worth $1.8 million combined potential value, and Texas A&M Transportation Institute holds four orders representing $893 thousand combined potential value. All 19 task orders are unrestricted competitive awards; no set-asides apply. All task orders fund FHWA Office of Safety operations exclusively—no cross-agency customer base exists under this vehicle.

Task order values range from approximately $70,000 to $1.5 million in ceiling value. Representative work spans roadway departure safety strategy, Safe System Approach implementation in the Highway Safety Improvement Program, speed limit determination methodologies, high-risk rural roads analysis, design exception mitigation strategies, and retroreflectivity rulemaking support. Pricing structures are predominantly firm fixed price, with select orders using time-and-materials or hybrid arrangements. Most active task orders have completion dates extending into 2025 and early 2026, aligning with the vehicle's ordering deadline.

Because ordering authority expired in August 2025, this vehicle is closed to new competitive pursuit. Incumbent prime contractors seeking follow-on work would need to pursue a successor vehicle if one has been established, or competition in a new FHWA safety procurement.

This Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA) Office of Safety (HSA) IDIQ provides technical and general services to support its program, including policy/regulatory analysis, analysis of program delivery approaches, safety evaluations, data analysis, meeting support, course development and delivery, and marketing and communication strategies/activities.
