Online Access to ASTM/AASHTO/AWWA Construction Standards and Manuals Subscription Service

The Federal Highway Administration is soliciting quotations for online access to ASTM/AASHTO/AWWA construction standards and manuals subscription services through Request for Quotation 69056726Q000001. The procurement seeks a unified online platform providing access to active and historical versions of standards from the American Society for Testing and Materials, the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, and the American Water Works Association, with required features including a unified search engine with type-ahead functionality, relevancy ranking, lemmatization, personalized standards lists with update notifications, and limited printing capabilities. Offerors must demonstrate a minimum of five years of relevant experience within the last seven years and provide past performance references from the last three years, as the government is seeking an already operational system rather than a development solution. Evaluation will be based on technical capability, cost, past performance across nine categories including technical abilities, schedule adherence, cost management, and regulatory compliance, as well as overall management quality. The revised deadline for quotation submission is February 10, 2026, at 3:00 PM Pacific Time, with all submissions required in electronic PDF format sent to WFL.Purchasing@dot.gov.

This acquisition is not set-aside for small business concerns and represents an unrestricted procurement. The contract will support approximately 58 Federal Lands Highway and Federal Highway Administration offices across the United States with a firm-fixed-price structure covering a base period of twelve months from February 15, 2026, through February 14, 2027, with four optional one-year renewal periods that could extend the contract through February 14, 2031, potentially creating a five-year engagement. No incumbent contractor is identified in the solicitation documents, and specific budget or award values are not disclosed in the government files. The subscription service must be capable of delivering nationwide coverage across multiple federal offices, and the contract is classified as a Defense Priorities and Allocations System rated order under NAICS code 513120 (Periodical Publishers). Performance will occur throughout the United States, with contracting inquiries directed to Douglas Taylor at the FHWA Western Federal Lands Division office in Vancouver, Washington.
