About this opportunity
The Department of Transportation Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) awarded a contract to Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (VA Tech) to conduct a redesign, fabrication, and final commissioning of the existing VA Tech-FRA Roller Rig. The contract, valued between $500,000 to $600,000, will enable single axle testing and improve the understanding of wheel-rail contact mechanics to prevent derailments and support FRA rulemaking. The FRA determined that VA Tech, as the original developer of the Roller Rig, has the unique capabilities and expertise required to perform the upgrade, justifying the use of other than full and open competition.
