The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), an agency within the Department of Transportation, issued a Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice for a non-competitive contract award to MITRE Corporation for Rail Information Sharing Environment (RISE) Program Development Support Services. The contract, valued at $3,000,000.00, was awarded on April 1, 2026, under contract number 693JJ626C000001 and continues work from a prior base contract that concluded on March 29, 2025. The non-competitive award is justified under 41 U.S.C. § 3304(a)(3) and FAR 6.302-3, which permit awards to federally funded research and development centers (FFRDCs) to establish or maintain essential engineering, research, or development capability.

Under this contract, MITRE will advance and mature RISE as a data trust for the railroad industry, demonstrate value through targeted projects with measurable outcomes, and promote coordination and information exchange among industry participants to enhance safety and effectiveness.
