About this opportunity
The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) is seeking market-ready, low-carbon binder technologies for the "Concrete Advancements Realized by Benefits of New Technologies (CARBON Tech)" opportunity under Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) 693JJ3-24-BAA-0003-001. The FHWA aims to accelerate the implementation of these next-generation low-carbon binders into engineering practice. Proposals should provide information on the estimated embodied carbon dioxide equivalent, basis for technology specification, and address limit-state based performance criteria. Evaluation will be based on the criteria outlined in the overarching BAA. Key dates include a white paper due on May 17, 2024, proposal questions due on July 25, 2024, and final proposals due on August 10, 2024. Awards are anticipated to be made in June 2024.
This opportunity is not set aside for any specific business category. The FHWA anticipates making multiple awards, but one or no award may be made depending on proposal quality and available funds. The period of performance is expected to be no longer than 24 months. The place of performance is Washington, DC 20590, USA.

Update #5 · Latest ·
Amendment 0003 is to provide the Government’s responses to questions received. See attachment.
Amendment 0002 is to provide the revised proposal questions due date and proposal submission due date.
Amendment 0001 to 693JJ3-24-BAA-0003-0001 - see revised attachment.
Reference: Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) 693JJ3-24-BAA-0003.
The development of next generation binder technologies has recently accelerated with a focus on low-carbon systems for concrete and cementitious materials used in infrastructure. Low-carbon binders are an area of opportunity where significant action taken today can lead to tangible, realized reductions in embodied carbon in infrastructure tomorrow.
The FHWA seeks to accelerate the implementation of next generation low-carbon binder technologies into engineering practice. This is anticipated to be accomplished in part through benchmarking performance of solutions which have achieved a suitable technology readiness level such that they may be implemented in an industrial trial. The FHWA is seeking solutions of market-ready, low-carbon binders to be benchmarked against (at a minimum) an industrially produced Class A concrete with a target 28-day compressive strength of 4000 psi (see Table 8.2.2-1, AASHTO LRFD Bridge Construction Specifications), with mixture proportions preferably in general agreement with regional benchmarks defined in the Cradle-to-Gate Life Cycle Assessment of Ready-Mixed Concrete Report – Version 3.2 analysis (July 2022).
