The Transportation Human-Natural Environment and Realty 2017-2022 Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract, awarded by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), supports the agency's Office of Planning, Environment, and Realty by providing specialized technical, research, and advisory services. The contract vehicle enables FHWA to efficiently procure environmental stewardship, transportation planning, and real property management support through multiple prime contractors. Task orders under this IDIQ span a wide range of technical domains, including transportation infrastructure analysis, environmental policy research, training material development, and strategic planning initiatives related to multimodal transportation systems.

The IDIQ has primarily been utilized by three prime contractors: The Cadmus Group LLC, Cambridge Systematics, Inc., and ICF Incorporated, L.L.C., with task order values typically ranging from $50,000 to $500,000 and performance periods spanning six months to three years. Frequent task order topics include environmental justice analyses, transportation corridor planning, right-of-way acquisition processes, noise and emissions studies, and development of training materials for transportation professionals. All task orders have been firm fixed-price and none have utilized specific set-aside designations. The contractors often employ subcontractors such as universities (University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill), engineering firms (Kittelson & Associates), and specialized consulting groups to support their work. Performance locations are predominantly in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area and other major urban centers, with work conducted to support FHWA's nationwide transportation planning and environmental initiatives.
