Broad Agency Announcement: Research to Support FHWA’s Office of Infrastructure Research and Development

The solicitation (Broad Agency Announcement 693JJ3‑23‑BAA‑0002) seeks proposals from any responsible source—state or local governments, universities, hospitals, non‑profits, private firms, and individuals—except businesses owned in whole or in part by the Federal Government. Offerors may propose a Firm‑Fixed‑Price, Cost‑Reimbursement, or Time‑and‑Materials contract, but must have an adequate accounting system for cost‑type awards; otherwise only FF‑P or T&M proposals are acceptable. Proposals must include a detailed, itemized cost breakdown (labor hours and rates, subcontractor costs, travel, equipment, supplies, etc.), a separate tab listing all cost assumptions, a completed Standard Form LLL (Lobbying Disclosure), and a Quad chart in PowerPoint format. All submissions are to be delivered electronically in PDF (with the Quad chart in PPT) to the BAA Contracting Officer, Representative, and Specialist, with the solicitation number in the email subject line. Technical proposals must describe the proposed technology’s objective, the specific highway‑infrastructure need it addresses, its anticipated industry adoption, and its current Technology Readiness Level per the FHWA guidebook. A comprehensive subcontracting plan is required, including goals for SB, VOSB, SDVOSB, HUBZone, SDB, and WOSB participants, methods for equitable competition, and compliance with FAR 52.219‑8. The solicitation also mandates inclusion of a subcontractor list with size‑standard classifications and a statement on indirect‑cost allocation for small‑business subcontractors.
