Transportation Planning Measurement Modeling and Assessment (TPMMA)

The Department of Transportation awarded this Master IDIQ for Transportation Planning, Measurement, Modeling, and Assessment (TPMMA) services on December 12, 2016, with a combined potential value of $19.999 million; ordering closed on December 11, 2021, and no new task orders may be placed against the vehicle.

The vehicle is inactive. The most recent task order was awarded on December 10, 2021, roughly 4.5 years ago. Only ten task orders were issued across the vehicle's five-year ordering window, with heavy front-loading in 2017 (eight orders) and minimal activity thereafter (one order in 2018, one in 2021). Obligated dollars total $7.6 million, representing 83 percent of the combined potential value; $2.4 million in ceiling authority remains unspent.

Work contracted under the vehicle spanned aviation environmental assessment, transportation infrastructure planning and analysis, and international development support. Representative scope includes development support for the Aviation Environmental Design Tool (AEDT), FAA environmental cleanup and compliance work, Air Tour Management Plans for the National Park Service, international highway assessment for the Millennium Challenge Corporation in Liberia, and software and hardware maintenance for the Federal Highway Administration's Geographical Information Systems website. Task orders ranged from $25 thousand (single software maintenance contract) to $2.999 million in potential value (aviation policy research with cost-plus-fixed-fee pricing).

Booz Allen Hamilton dominated the vehicle, capturing eight of ten awarded task orders and $8.6 million of the $9.2 million in combined task-order potential value. Metron Aviation Inc. received one order for $549 thousand, and KBR Wyle Services, LLC received one order for $25 thousand. All ten task orders were unrestricted, non-set-aside awards. The Department of Transportation was the sole customer agency across all ten orders, eliminating customer concentration risk from the analysis.

Most task orders employed cost-plus-fixed-fee pricing; a smaller number used firm-fixed-price structures. Performance locations included multiple western service areas for FAA work and international sites in Liberia and Southeast Asia.

The U.S. Department of Transportation, Office of the Assistant Secretary for Research and Technology, John A. Volpe National Transportation Systems Center (Volpe Center), Cambridge, MA, has awarded a Master IDIQ for the Transportation Planning, Measurement, Modeling, and Assessment (TPMMA) services, much of the task work will support development of the Aviation Environmental Design Tool (AEDT) and also has the potential to be national in scope, such as supporting Air Tour Management Plans (ATMP) for the National Park Service (NPS), or even international, such as providing support to the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) Project.
