Opportunity Summary:
The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), within the U.S. Department of Transportation, issued a grant opportunity titled "Core Program Services for a Highway Research, Development, and Technology Program" under Funding Opportunity Number DTFH61-12-RA-00011. The assistance instrument is a Cooperative Agreement, meaning the recipient would carry out the work with substantial involvement from FHWA rather than operating entirely independently. The activity falls under the transportation category and is tied to CFDA 20.200, the Highway Research and Development Program. The purpose of the award is to provide core program support for a national highway research, development, and technology program that serves State Departments of Transportation (State DOTs), helping organize and deliver research and related technology activities that states rely on for improving highway systems.
This opportunity was structured as a single expected award, with an estimated total funding amount of $37,500,000. The award ceiling was also listed as $37,500,000, while the award floor was $3,750,000, indicating that FHWA anticipated one primary agreement that could potentially cover the full amount, with the minimum funding level reflected as a lower bound for an award under the program. No cost sharing or matching requirement was specified, so the recipient was not required to contribute non-federal matching funds as a condition of receiving the cooperative agreement.
Eligibility was restricted because the announcement describes the requirement as sole source. Application eligibility was limited specifically to the National Academy of Sciences Transportation Research Board (TRB). In practical terms, that means FHWA was not seeking open competition among a broad set of universities, nonprofits, or private firms; instead, the agency identified TRB as the only eligible applicant to perform the core program support role for this State DOT-focused highway research and technology program.
Key dates in the announcement show it was posted and created on May 22, 2012, with an original and current closing date of June 21, 2012. The archive date was July 21, 2012, which generally indicates when the opportunity would be removed from active listings after the application window closed. For questions or assistance accessing the full announcement, the listed FHWA contact was Guang Zeng, Contract Specialist, at (202) 366-5503 or guang.zeng@dot.gov.
