About this opportunity
The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) is seeking a contractor to enhance forecasting practices for travel demand models and transportation planning through a sources sought notice. The procurement aims to support implementation of Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) Section 11205 requirements by developing best practices for States and Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) in travel demand forecasting. Key contract objectives include identifying and recruiting at least four MPOs as research champions, exploring methods to evaluate transportation investment impacts, and monitoring travel behavior responses. The contractor will be expected to build upon NCHRP Research Report 934 on traffic forecasting accuracy and develop advanced methodologies for more precise transportation planning and analysis. Responses to this sources sought notice are due March 20, 2025, at 2pm Eastern Time, with interested parties required to submit a 5-page capability statement addressing organizational details, qualifications, and experience under NAICS code 541611.
The solicitation welcomes responses from all business types, including small businesses, 8(a) firms, women-owned businesses, HUBZone companies, and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs). The government will use these responses to determine the most appropriate acquisition strategy for a 36-month firm-fixed-price contract. While a precise award value is not explicitly stated, the initial estimate suggests a contract near $100,000. The procurement is not designated with a specific set-aside, indicating open competition across eligible vendors. The contract will focus on a comprehensive approach to improving travel demand forecasting, potentially impacting transportation planning processes across multiple states by providing more accurate predictive models and analytical techniques.
