Accelerating Market Readiness Program

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) is issuing Broad Agency Announcement 693JJ325BAA0001 for the Accelerating Market Readiness (AMR) program, Phase I. The solicitation seeks innovative transportation technologies that can be advanced to a Technology Readiness Level 7 or higher and positioned for market adoption, including potential integration into the Every‑Day‑Counts (EDC) program. Offerors must first submit a six‑page white paper (cover page excluded) describing the transportation challenge, technical approach, and anticipated impact on DOT strategic goals such as safety, reduced fatalities, faster project delivery, and lower life‑cycle costs. Selected white‑paper submitters will be invited to submit a Phase 2 proposal that includes a detailed technical volume (work plan, management plan, schedule, milestones, deliverables) limited to 10 pages, and a cost‑and‑pricing volume with a full cost breakdown (direct labor, overhead, profit/fee, subcontract costs, cost‑sharing/venture‑sharing, indirect costs) by year. Proposals must contain a Small Business Subcontracting Plan with rationales for any subcontracting goals set below the statutory minima for VOSB, SDVOSB, HUBZone, SDB, WOSB, or the Department’s overall goal, and must comply with Section 889 procurement requirements. Evaluation will be based equally on technical merit (work plan, market potential, team experience) and price reasonableness. Attachments required are a white‑paper example, price model, innovation topics, subcontracting plan, and the standard form LLL. Points of contact are listed via the provided government email addresses.
