Virginia Department Of Transportation

The Virginia Department of Transportation, Fiscal-E-Zpass Division, doing business as E-Zpass Virginia, a U.S. government entity headquartered in Richmond, Virginia, operates as a federal grant recipient and prime contractor providing E-ZPass toll payment services and transportation infrastructure funding administration to federal agencies, with the Federal Highway Administration accounting for 97% of its recent awards by count.

E-Zpass Virginia's federal footprint centers on two distinct roles. The division acts as the prime recipient for formula grants from the Federal Highway Administration under multiple federal highway programs (Surface Transportation Block Grant Program, CFDA 20.287; Bridge Formula Program, CFDA 20.263; Highway Planning and Construction, CFDA 20.205; Highway Safety Improvement Program, CFDA 20.272; and others), channeling funds to Virginia local governments and state agencies for sidewalk construction, bridge rehabilitation, trail development, signal upgrades, and multimodal transportation improvements across the Commonwealth. Recent representative grants include $1.417 million under CFDA 20.287 for sidewalk and pedestrian signal construction on Centreville Road in Manassas (August 31, 2026 completion), $19.419 million under the Bridge Formula Program for I-66 Structure 2053 replacement over Broad Run in Fauquier County (April 30, 2031 completion), and $7.453 million under the Bridge Formula Program for bridge rehabilitation on Interstate 81 in Roanoke County (September 30, 2030 completion). E-Zpass Virginia also holds a blanket purchase agreement with the Department of Defense (established May 23, 2025, through May 22, 2030, with a $350 thousand ceiling) to provide law enforcement emergency vehicle transponders, toll account management, and centralized billing for approximately 280 federal fleet vehicles operating in Maryland, Virginia, and nearby states.

The overwhelming majority of E-Zpass Virginia's recent award activity—6,361 of 6,566 awards (97%)—derives from the Federal Highway Administration, with the Federal Emergency Management Agency accounting for 131 awards (2%), primarily related to disaster response and infrastructure recovery. The Department of Justice, Department of State, Department of the Navy, and Department of the Army round out the remaining customer base. The division's combined potential value across all recent federal awards totals $2.3 million, though obligated dollars ($9.54 billion) far exceed potential values, reflecting the formula-grant structure where VDOT passes federal highway funds through to localities and state agencies as sub-recipients. The recompete exposure in the next twenty-four months stands at 536 awards with $595 thousand combined potential value.

E-Zpass Virginia operates exclusively as a prime entity (98% of awards) and does not subcontract federal work to private firms. The division functions as a pass-through fiscal agent for federal highway grants, with no private-sector subcontractor relationships documented in the source material. Its sub-award activity (2% of awards) consists of pass-throughs to Virginia cities, towns, and counties, and to the state Emergency Management Department for disaster recovery projects.

The source contains no evidence of set-aside certifications, SBA designations, or competitive posture adjustments; as a state government entity, E-Zpass Virginia is ineligible for federal small-business set-asides and competes under full-and-open federal contracting rules. The division's federal role is administrative rather than commercial—managing toll transponders for federal fleet agencies and distributing highway and transportation formula grants to eligible Virginia sub-recipients under federal statutory allocations, with all work performed in Virginia or at federal facilities in the Washington, D.C., area.
