Opportunity Summary:

The Offices of Infrastructure and Safety Technical Assistance and Technology Deployment Implementation Support Services opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DTFH6114RA00009) is a U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) discretionary funding action that signals the agency's intent to make a sole source award. In practical terms, this posting is not a standard open competition where any qualified organization can submit a proposal. Instead, it functions as a formal notice that FHWA plans to fund a specific organization (or a very limited set of eligible entities) to carry out a defined scope of work, with eligibility restricted accordingly.

The award is expected to be made through a cooperative agreement rather than a traditional grant. A cooperative agreement typically indicates that FHWA anticipates having substantial involvement in the work during the performance period, such as collaborating on planning, coordinating activities, reviewing deliverables, or helping guide implementation. The work itself is described as "implementation support services" connected to the agency's Offices of Infrastructure and Safety, with an emphasis on technical assistance and technology deployment. While the short description does not list individual tasks, the title and framing suggest support that helps move transportation-related practices, tools, and innovations from research or pilot stages into real-world use, likely aiding adoption by state and local transportation partners and other stakeholders.

This opportunity falls under the Transportation funding activity category and is associated with CFDA (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance) number 20.200, identified as the Highway Research and Development Program. That connection indicates the effort is aligned with FHWA's broader mission to improve the nation's highway system through applied research, development, and the practical deployment of proven methods and technologies, particularly those that advance infrastructure performance and roadway safety outcomes.

A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning the recipient is expected to contribute a portion of the total project cost through non-federal funds, in-kind contributions, or other allowable matching sources as permitted under the cooperative agreement terms. The posting does not specify the match percentage, so the exact requirement would be defined in the full award documents or negotiated agreement conditions.

The notice was posted and created on March 26, 2014. Both the original and current closing dates are listed as "This is a notice of intent for a sole source award," reinforcing that this is not a typical deadline-driven solicitation open to broad submission. The eligible applicant category is listed as "Others," with additional eligibility details pointing again to limited eligibility due to the sole source nature of the award.

For questions or issues accessing the full announcement electronically, the listed FHWA contact is Freida Byrd, Agreement Specialist, at (202) 366-6547.
