The Product and Service Code (PSC) AS41 encompasses transportation research and development services, with a specific focus on pipelines, hazardous materials, cross-functional transportation, and basic research. This category supports innovative technological solutions across various transportation-related domains, including safety, infrastructure, and materials science. The research efforts span multiple areas such as sensor development, hazardous material tracking, bioremediation, and advanced protective technologies for transportation systems.

Federal Contract Awards in this PSC category are predominantly Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contracts from the U.S. Department of Transportation, specifically the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA). These awards range from $156,000 to $1,000,000, typically lasting 6-24 months, and are almost exclusively set aside for small businesses. Frequently awarded entities include Senslytics Corporation, Triton Systems, Newport Sensors, TDA Research, and Aries Science & Technology. The contracts focus on developing innovative technologies such as internal corrosion control systems, mechanical sensors, hazardous material placards, wearable safety technologies, RFID tracking, and battery state-of-charge monitoring.

The federal contract opportunities in this PSC category are primarily solicitations from the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management, specifically for pipeline material procurement. The current opportunities are for the Adam Weiss Peak Pipeline project, seeking High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) pipe materials totaling approximately 34,000 linear feet. These solicitations are set aside for total small businesses and utilize a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source selection approach. The place of performance is located in Thermopolis, Wyoming, with materials to be delivered in original, unopened containers and strict specifications for transportation and handling.
