Draft RFP - Technical Expertise and Support Services for FHWA Office of Safety

The solicitation seeks contractors to perform task orders under an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract, with each Task Order Proposal Request (TOPR) requiring a written proposal that includes a clear discussion of the task order objective, a concise work plan, a performance schedule (milestones, anticipated challenges, and mitigation), staff qualifications (including subject‑matter experts), a detailed price proposal (labor categories, rates, and other direct costs), and a brief conflict‑of‑interest statement. Proposals must be submitted electronically by the due date specified in the TOPR and must include a one‑page cover sheet containing solicitation number, offeror information, subcontractor list, point‑of‑contact details, business size, and UEI number, as well as assumptions and labor‑category descriptions with required qualifications. Evaluation will focus on the offeror’s management and staffing approach (Factor 3), technical approach (Factor 2), and price (Factor 6). Offerors must describe how they will ensure qualified personnel, organizational structure, communication lines, and staffing adjustments for concurrent task orders, including recruitment, subcontractor use, and a contingency plan for replacing key personnel without performance impact. The government places high value on recent (within five years) prime‑contractor experience—especially federal experience—in technical support, capacity building, outreach, and administrative support, and may require revisions to a Small Business Subcontracting Plan to meet socio‑economic goals. Prices will be evaluated for completeness, fairness, and consistency with the technical proposal but will not be rated unless the offeror is the highest technically rated or in the competitive range.
