Number Questions Responses

On page 19 of the SOW, for each research topic, will multiple project concept papers be accepted? If so, will offerors of all the accepted concept papers be invited to submit formal proposals?

And, ultimately, will there be multiple awards per research topic?

Yes, project concept papers from multiple offerors may be accepted for each research topic. No, not all offerors that submitted concept papers will be invited to submit proposals. Yes, there may be multiple awards per research topic.

On page 1‐3 of Appendix C, please advise as to when project concept papers with closing date “TBA” are due to FHWA?

We are not accepting proposals for research topics that have a closing date listed as TBA at this time. We will reopen the solicitation when proposals for those topics are needed.

BAA 2.1 states that “Communication between Offerors and FHWA is encouraged prior to and throughout the project concept paper phase.” Can government provide specific guidance on what type of communications (emails, virtual meetings, or in person meeting) is allowed and how we can initiate or schedule this communication?

Email will be the preferred method of communication during the project concept paper phase.

Can the government please confirm that Oct 30, 2023 is the deadline for submitting the Concept Paper for those research topics listed in Appendix C with Oct 30 as their closing dates? Yes, that is correct.
