About the company
Kittelson & Associates Inc., a for-profit Subchapter S corporation based in Portland, Oregon, provides transportation planning, safety engineering, and multimodal mobility research services to the federal government as both a prime contractor (59% of recent awards) and subcontractor (41%). The vendor holds a $48 million FHWA IDIQ (April 2026 through March 2031) for technical expertise and support services to the Office of Safety, with no SBA set-aside designations across its federal footprint.
Kittelson's customer concentration is extreme: the Federal Highway Administration accounts for 37 of 41 total awards (98% of award count) and $140.3 million of $140.9 million combined potential value. The remaining three awards split between the Department of Transportation's Immediate Office of the Secretary ($200 thousand, SBIR Phase I), the Smithsonian Institution ($50 thousand, urban design task), and the Department of the Interior National Park Service National Office. This concentration reflects Kittelson's core capability in roadway safety, traffic operations, pedestrian and bicyclist protection, and transportation systems management — domains where FHWA is the dominant federal customer.
Representative prime work includes a $300,921 delivery order (September 2026) under the FHWA IDIQ for technical support and marketing of the Nighttime Visibility Safety Program (completion September 2029), a $199,954 SBIR Phase I award (October 2024) from DOT for the Complete Streets AI Initiative focused on AI-powered mobility network analysis tools, and the underlying $48 million FHWA IDIQ itself, which procures instructor-led and web-based training in pavement, construction, asset management, and financial management for state transportation departments and local agencies. On the subcontract side, Kittelson performs transportation safety research under Leidos on four active sub-awards addressing pedestrian accessibility at intersections, shoulder use, urban arterial pedestrian safety, and multimodal transportation systems management (awards October 2025, March 2025, November 2024). Kittelson also subcontracts to the Cadmus Group on DOT's Reconnecting Communities Institute program and to Alpha Construction and Engineering on speed investigation studies.
Kittelson operates extensively as a sub-recipient to the National Academy of Sciences, holding eleven grant sub-awards across research and implementation projects in traffic signal performance measures, pedestrian crossing treatments, speed management strategies, roadway cross-section design, and transportation systems management curricula — all funded by federal transportation agencies but flowing through NAS as the prime grantee. The most recent NAS sub-award (October 2026) addresses safety performance assessment of atypical service interchanges.
Activity has accelerated sharply in the past three years: one award in 2023, eleven in 2024, four in 2025, and six in 2026 year-to-date. However, Service Contract Inventory data shows minimal FTE delivery: 0.9 FTEs reported across sub contracts in FY2025 against 11 total SCI records, indicating Kittelson's federal service work is concentrated in specialized technical advisory and research roles rather than sustained staffing. Combined dollars obligated across all awards stand at $10.5 million against $140.9 million potential value (7% obligated), reflecting the early stages of larger IDIQ task orders and phase-gate research contracts. Kittelson's positioning as a niche FHWA safety and mobility research partner, anchored to a single large IDIQ, creates both concentration risk (recompete dependency on FHWA retention) and focus advantage (deep domain credibility in federal transportation safety policy).
