Addressing Construction Needs for Ultra-High Performance (UHPC) Structural Elements

The Federal Highway Administration’s Bridge Engineering Research Team is issuing Broad Agency Announcement 693JJ3‑24‑BAA‑0003 to obtain innovative technologies that improve the safety, durability, resilience, and efficiency of U.S. bridges and highway structures. Offerors must submit an expression of interest that includes a bibliography of supporting technical papers, a concise objective statement, a clear description of the problem to be solved, and an assessment of the technology’s maturity using FHWA’s Technology Readiness Level Guidebook. Proposals must detail the technical approach, development framework, and scope of work—including major tasks, milestones, deliverables, and integration of industry partners for testing or demonstration—along with a project management plan, cost/price proposal (Volume II has no page limit; Volume I is limited to 25 pages), schedule expressed in weeks, and a funding plan that identifies all sources and their percentage contributions. Key requirements also call for a description of intended stakeholder groups, an estimate of industry adoption potential, a quad‑chart, and documentation of each organization’s capabilities, experience, and key personnel qualifications. The BAA is an expression of interest only; the Government will not reimburse proposal‑preparation costs but reserves the right to award contracts that advance its strategic goals for next‑generation structural steel, concrete, geotechnical, and bridge‑hydraulics technologies. Offerors must meet eligibility criteria, adhere to the specified contract guidelines, and be prepared for possible contract modifications or termination if performance is unsatisfactory.
