About this opportunity
The Special Notice is a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) issued by the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) under the U.S. Department of Transportation, soliciting applied research and development proposals in support of rail safety initiatives for Fiscal Year 2025. The BAA aims to address research needs across four key areas: Human Factors, Track, Rolling Stock, and Train Control and Communication. The research topics outlined in the BAA cover a wide range of rail safety and efficiency improvements, such as advanced weld inspection, hazardous materials transportation safety, and railroad worker fatigue.
The BAA has an open submission period, with the due date for concept papers set as January 16, 2025. Proposed projects can range from $50,000 to $500,000, and the FRA may invite selected offerors to submit full proposals based on their initial concept paper evaluations. The BAA does not utilize any set-asides, and the eligible participants include private sector entities, academic institutions, and nonprofit organizations capable of conducting the proposed research and development efforts. Successful proposals will be awarded firm-fixed-price contracts, with the FRA expecting a level of partner investment to complement the government funding.
