The PSC Category AS13 covers Transportation Research and Development Services focused on Surface Transportation, Public Transit, and Rail Experimental Development. The category encompasses innovative research projects targeting advanced transportation technologies, safety improvements, and infrastructure optimization. Services include developing experimental systems for vehicle technologies, traffic monitoring, asset management, and transportation infrastructure solutions. Research spans autonomous vehicle technologies, traffic safety systems, edge computing applications, and specialized transportation problem-solving initiatives.

Federal Contract Awards in this category predominantly feature Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II contracts from the Department of Transportation, typically ranging from $400,000 to $1,000,000 with performance periods of 18-24 months. Frequent awardees include small businesses like Aiwaysion Inc., Coherent Technical Services, Integrated Solutions For Systems, and research institutions such as the University of Illinois and Virginia Tech. Awards are predominantly set aside for total small businesses and focus on developing innovative transportation technologies. Funding agencies include the Department of Transportation's modal administrations, with particular emphasis on the Federal Highway Administration and the Federal Railroad Administration. Contract types are primarily definitive contracts with fixed-price or cost-plus-fixed-fee pricing structures.

Recent Federal Contract Opportunities include specialized research solicitations from the Federal Railroad Administration and Federal Highway Administration. Key opportunities involve sole-source contracts for unique research projects such as a roller rig redesign at Virginia Tech and truck telematics data analysis to identify highway safety segments. The opportunities emphasize advanced transportation research, technological innovations in vehicle and infrastructure monitoring, and specialized engineering solutions. Performance locations are predominantly in academic and research settings across the United States, with a strong focus on developing cutting-edge transportation safety and efficiency technologies.
