Intelligent Transportation Society Of America (Its America)

Intelligent Transportation Society of America (ITS America), a Washington, DC-based nonprofit organization, serves as a federal contractor and grant recipient providing intelligent transportation systems research, stakeholder engagement, conference planning, and specialized transportation technology support primarily to the Department of Transportation on a full-and-open basis without set-aside designations. ITS America operates almost exclusively as a prime contractor (99% of recent awards) and recipient, with minimal subcontractor engagement across its federal footprint.

ITS America's customer concentration is extreme and deliberate. The Department of Transportation's Federal Highway Administration accounts for 117 of 128 prime awards (91% of the award count) with a combined potential value of $86.5 million, leaving the Federal Transit Administration and the Immediate Office of the Secretary of Transportation as secondary customers. This concentration reflects ITS America's core positioning as the federal intermediary for intelligent transportation systems research, knowledge sharing, and stakeholder coordination across the transportation ecosystem.

The vendor holds four active indefinite delivery contracts with FHWA, issued by the Federal Highway Administration. The largest is the single-award ID/IQ DTFH6108D00011, generating 39 task orders worth a combined $10.9 million potential value, followed by DTFH6113D00017 with 33 task orders at $9.5 million combined potential value, 693JJ319D000062 with 12 task orders at $5 million, and 693JJ325D000004 with 5 task orders at $5.2 million. The most recent parent vehicle, awarded November 25, 2024, is a single-award indefinite delivery contract valued at $9.533 million through November 2029 for intelligent transportation systems research, meeting planning, training, and specialized studies. Representative task orders under this and prior vehicles include a $1.7 million time-and-materials delivery order issued April 10, 2026, for ITS Joint Program Office conference planning through April 9, 2029; a $997,593 time-and-materials order from June 23, 2026, for Vehicle-to-Everything training and engagement through June 22, 2028; and a $1.31 million cost-plus-fixed-fee order issued September 3, 2025, for ITS training and peer exchange support through September 2, 2027. ITS America also holds a $600,000 three-year purchase order from the Department of Transportation's Immediate Office of the Secretary, awarded August 24, 2026, to provide evaluation and support services for the SMART Grants Program through August 23, 2029, and a $1.29 million firm-fixed-price purchase order from the Secretary's office, awarded September 27, 2024, for technical support on integrated transportation system-of-systems digital infrastructure strategy through September 30, 2028.

Award activity has accelerated recently. After averaging one award per year in 2022 and 2023, the vendor received six awards in 2024, three in 2025, and four through mid-September 2026. However, four awards carrying a combined potential value of $4.2 million face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating recompete exposure. SCI-reported invoicing reached $1.1 million in FY2025 against a federal services labor footprint of 1.5 FTEs, reflecting the organization's lean staffing model and reliance on self-performance across its SCI-reportable prime contracts; no subcontractor hours were reported. ITS America also acts as a federal grant recipient, holding a cooperative agreement with the Federal Transit Administration awarded July 22, 2024, for data interoperability knowledge sharing and peer exchanges on mobility, zero-emission transit, and vehicle safety through September 30, 2026. The vendor subcontracts to larger transportation research recipients, including Texas A&M Transportation Institute and the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, on grant activities such as accelerating Vehicle-to-Everything deployment and coalition support services.
