About this opportunity
The Federal Railroad Administration intends to award a sole-source contract to Duos Technologies, Inc. for the Mobile Railcar Inspection Portal (m-RIP) system and associated commercial services supporting the FRA Safety Test Pilot Program, with an estimated base award value of $1.3 million.
The justification cites the Test Program for Commercial Items (41 U.S.C. 1901 and 1903) and FAR 12.201-1 (Commercial Services). Duos Technologies is identified as the only known provider of the proprietary m-RIP system, with thirteen portals currently deployed throughout the U.S., Canada, and Mexico and two additional portals under construction. The FRA conducted a Sources Sought notice on SAM.gov closing February 26, 2026; six responses were received, but none proposed viable solutions meeting the FRA's portable, high-speed, high-resolution field-testing requirements. The acquisition establishes a SaaS test pilot program to evaluate m-RIP's effectiveness in identifying Areas of Interest that correlate to potential mechanical defects on rolling stock in live operational railroad environments to enhance national rail safety. Fair and reasonable pricing will be determined using existing commercial price lists, prior FRA and industry acquisition history, price analysis under FAR 12.209-3(a)(2), and comparison against an independent government estimate. The contract was awarded July 2, 2026.
