Applied Pavement Technology, Inc.

Applied Pavement Technology, Inc., a Subchapter S corporation headquartered in Champaign, Illinois, delivers pavement engineering consulting, training development, and technical support services to federal transportation and infrastructure agencies as a prime contractor on 97% of its awards. The vendor competes predominantly full-and-open on Federal Highway Administration vehicles and selective total small business set-asides on Army Corps of Engineers work, with FHWA accounting for approximately 70% of award volume and 99% of combined potential value across the portfolio.

Customer concentration is extreme and heavily skewed to FHWA. The top five funding agencies account for 86% of awards by count, with the Federal Highway Administration holding 148 awards valued at $185.4 million combined potential value, the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Omaha holding 28 awards at $59.2 million, the Army Corps Engineer Research and Development Center at 3 awards for $1.3 million, Air Force Air Combat Command at 2 awards for $953 thousand, and the Forest Service at 1 award for $493 thousand. The two rankings align tightly — FHWA dominates both volume and dollars — creating near-total customer concentration with a single agency. Applied Pavement Technology competes under multiple FHWA indefinite-delivery vehicles: a $10 million IDIQ (awarded May 2025, completion May 2030) for development and delivery of pavement, materials, construction, maintenance, and asset management training; an $18.5 million total small business set-aside IDIQ (awarded December 2024, completion December 2029) for technical and support services for pavement programs; and older generation vehicles including the Infrastructure Research and Technology Deployment Program IDIQ. Recent delivery orders under these vehicles include $1.639 million for development and delivery of National Highway Institute courses 134063 and 134112 (February 2026, firm fixed price, no set-aside); $858.8 thousand for NHI courses 131139, 131050, 131141, 131145, and 131149 (April 2026, full-and-open competitive); $485.2 thousand for National Asset Management Working Group support (April 2026, total small business set-aside); and $74.9 thousand for FHWA pavement friction information update (November 2025, no set-aside). From the Army Corps side, Applied Pavement Technology holds a $25 million total small business set-aside IDIQ (awarded May 2025, completion May 2030) under the PAVER/PCASE software sustainment program with Engineering District Omaha, supporting ongoing maintenance and updates to pavement management software. Representative Army Corps task orders include $999.9 thousand for AMC TDAAP PAVER work (September 2025, total small business set-aside, completion March 2027), $976.7 thousand for FY26 PCASE software maintenance and updates (April 2026, total small business set-aside, completion October 2027), and $455.9 thousand for Fort Stewart Paver work (August 2025, total small business set-aside, completion August 2026).

Activity has remained flat across the past five years — ten awards in 2022 declining through eight in 2024 and 2025 — with only three awards (combined potential value $2.1 million) completing within the next twenty-four months, indicating limited near-term recompete exposure. The vendor's 211 total awards span 12 customer agencies, but concentration with FHWA and Army Corps creates a narrow customer exposure. In its subcontractor role, Applied Pavement Technology delivers engineering services and labor support on federal contracts: a conceptual charrette report for the Repair Apron C project at Kirtland Air Force Base under Jacobs Government Services Company (March 2025) and labor support for the Highway Cost Allocation Study under Battelle Memorial Institute (September 2024). The vendor also acts as sub-recipient on federal research grants managed by the National Academy of Sciences and academic institutions, including work on pavement management guidance enhancement (October 2024), flooding resiliency in pavement systems (March 2024), advancing sustainability and resilience in pavements under University of California, Davis (December 2023), and low-carbon pavement guide development under Iowa State University (September 2023).

Applied Pavement Technology's federal grant footprint includes a Cooperative Agreement recipient award with FHWA (awarded May 2024, completion September 2029) to assist in the delivery of the Tribal Technical Assistance Program in the western region, serving American Indian and Alaska Native tribes through regional TTAP centers. The vendor's work spans training delivery, pavement engineering research, infrastructure asset management, and technical support across pavement disciplines, with emphasis on National Highway Institute course development and delivery, pavement condition assessments, sustainable materials research, and maintenance guidance for federal, state, and local transportation agencies. Portfolio categories reflect this specialization: 118 awards under Engineering Services (NAICS 541330), 33 under Professional and Management Development Training, 12 under Research and Development in Physical and Engineering Sciences, with the largest PSC categories being Education/Training–Training/Curriculum Development (77 awards) and Architect and Engineering–General (35 awards).
