About this file
This document is an industry day flyer for an upcoming Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract opportunity from the Department of Transportation (DOT) Volpe Center. The IDIQ will support modernization and sustainment of the Department of Defense's (DoD) rail rolling stock fleet over the next 5 years. The work will include manufacturing or refurbishment of locomotives, rail car spotters, and freight rail cars, as well as in-the-field inspection, repair, and maintenance of new and existing rolling stock to meet DOT, DoD, and industry safety and operational requirements. The Volpe Center is seeking feedback from the rail rolling stock engineering, manufacturing, and sustainment services industry to incorporate into the future acquisition process. The IDIQ is anticipated to be primarily firm-fixed-price task orders, with some time and material task orders as needed, with a 5-year ordering period. The Volpe Center is the supporting agency for this upcoming opportunity.

DOT Volpe Center Modernization & Sustainment of DoD Rolling Stock – Industry Day
Title of Event: DOT Volpe Center Modernization & Sustainment of DoD Rolling Stock Support Audience: Members of the US Rail Rolling Stock Manufacturing and Sustainment Industry When: TBD, details to be provided Where: Virtual (Teams)
Abstract: The Volpe Center supports multiple DoD rail modernization and sustainment programs, providing engineering, technical, acquisition, and program management support to DoD as required. As the DoD modernizes its fleet, legacy rolling stock may need to be retired as vehicles reach their end of life and are replaced with vehicles with emerging technology, such as to meet emission, safety, or regulatory requirements. In other cases, refurbishment of vehicles may be a cost effective alternative to meet these requirements. To ensure the safe operation of DoD rolling stock, maintenance, inspections, and repairs of legacy and new vehicles is required by Industry certified and Federal Government approved personnel. The DoD have rail operations in approximately 45 military facilities in the continental U.S., Hawaii, and Alaska. Each facility has rolling stock to meet their mission requirements, with quantity and types unique to their mission. The Volpe Center is preparing to support the DoD over the next 5 years with locomotive and railway rolling stock modernizations and also improve sustainment operations.
This perspective work encompasses a wide range of design, manufacturing, and engineering services for new and refurbishment of legacy DoD owned railway rolling stock, as well as the inspection and repair of new and legacy rolling stock. The two primary concentrations are expected to be in the locomotive and freight car design and manufacturing, and in the inspection and repair of new/legacy rolling stock. In the performance of design and manufacturing, performers shall be responsible for using proven industry practices in the design process, i.e. conducting feasibility studies; risk assessments; detailed engineering analysis at the component, sub-system, and system level; dynamic, scale, and full size operational testing; engineering and manufacturing drawings production. In the manufacturing process, performers are to manufacture the required vehicle in an AAR certified manufacturing facility within the U.S. with industry proven tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs). In the performance of the inspection and repair of new and legacy rolling stock, the performers shall be responsible for complying with AAR, FRA, and DoD regulations and policy using industry and regulatory TTPs. For all work conducted, performers shall have industry accepted or certified TTPs for: program management (cost, schedule, scope, requirement), physical security, cybersecurity, and quality control oversight.
Who should attend? Rail rolling stock engineering and manufacturing organizations, rolling stock suppliers, rolling stock in-the-field sustainment (inspection, maintenance, repair) service providers with appropriate certification/accreditation. Representatives should be technically savvy and have a firm understanding of the Federal Government policy and regulations of rolling stock manufacturing and sustainment, as well as industry practices.
Industry Day Goals:
• To ensure wide dissemination of prospective IDIQ needs and requirements
• Obtain rolling stock manufacturing and sustainment provider feedback
• Incorporate Industry comments into the future acquisition process
• Gain a better understanding of recent Industry developments
Higher -Level Agenda:
• --Welcome and Agenda --
• Volpe Center presentation on program and anticipated solicitation needs
• Volpe Center Acquisitions presentation on process
• Questions from Industry
• Breakout sessions with industry representatives (10 minute limit)
