This is an amendment to Broad Agency Announcement BAA 2026-27 issued by the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), Office of Research, Development, and Technology. The amendment, dated August 21, 2026, removes four research topics from the FY26-27 BAA that are no longer available for proposal submission. The removed topics are: FRA-TR-005 (Innovative Methods for Measuring or Monitoring Longitudinal Rail Stress), FRA-TR-006 (Research and Development on Track Lateral Strength), FRA-TR-007 (Determining Pre Break Rail Neutral Temperature, Longitudinal Rail Restraint, and Best Rail Adjustment Practices), and FRA-TR-009 (Wheel/Rail Contact Evaluation).

The amendment notifies interested parties that research priorities and topics are subject to change throughout the BAA solicitation process and directs potential offerors to check the announcement periodically or contact FRABAA@dot.gov to verify topic availability. An updated Appendix C containing the remaining available research topics has been attached to the amendment. This document serves as a notice of modification to the original BAA 2026-27 (Solicitation Number 693JJ626R000001_00001) focused on research initiatives in support of rail safety.
