JOFOC_693JJ321D000005_REDACTED.pdf

This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) from the Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration for a contract modification. The modification increases the ceiling of an existing Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) for the Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Standards Program. The contract, originally awarded on September 16, 2021, supports the development and maintenance of ITS standards and protocols, focusing on areas such as Connected Transportation Interoperability, ITS Roadside Unit Standardization, ITS Standards Compliance Testing, and ITS Core Standards Development.

The IDIQ contract is being modified to add $1,000,000 to the ceiling, bringing it from $9,750,000 to $10,750,000, to ensure sufficient capacity for continued task orders. FHWA has already awarded 13 task orders totaling $9,670,602.08, with approximately 16 months remaining in the ordering period. The modification does not change the existing contract's rates, performance periods, or scope. FHWA plans to issue a follow-on award for similar services by September 1, 2027, and is currently conducting market research to determine potential competitive socioeconomic set-asides and small business opportunities.
