The Government contemplates an award of a single Firm Fixed Price (FFP) purchase order/contract resulting from this solicitation.
Contract Line Item (CLIN):
To be developed by awardee in their response to the Statement of Objectives (SOO) See Attachment 1 Statement of Objectives.
Objective:
This effort will result in a railroad parametric capacity model that will be validated based on “real world” operations data.
Description of Requirement:
Description:
The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) anticipates awarding a Firm Fixed Price type contract for the development of a new Parametric Railway Line Capacity Model (PRLCM). FRA believes that a new parametric capacity model would have the potential to serve as an important adjunct to existing railroad operations simulation tools and could find application in high-level operations analysis that is performed as part of early project feasibility studies, regional intercity passenger rail planning, and as an aid in developing hypotheses for operating and infrastructure changes for subsequent evaluation using operations simulation.
This effort will result in a validated, reproducible Railroad Parametric Capacity Model (RPCM), associated documentation, and code that the Government can independently develop. (The full description is to be found on pages 1-2 of Attachment J.1 Statement of Objective (SOO).).

The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) has issued solicitation 693JJ626Q000005 for the development of a new Parametric Railway Line Capacity Model (PRLCM). This initiative seeks to create a validated, reproducible model based on real-world operations data to serve as an adjunct to existing railroad simulation tools. The resulting model is intended for use in high-level operations analysis during early project feasibility studies, regional intercity passenger rail planning, and as a tool for developing infrastructure and operating hypotheses. The government anticipates awarding a single firm-fixed-price contract with an 18-month base period of performance.
This procurement is conducted as full and open competition under NAICS 541330: Engineering Services and PSC AS12: Transportation R&D Services; Surface Transportation, Public Transit, and Rail; Applied Research. The place of performance and delivery is Washington, DC. As a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial services, the award will be made on a best-value basis. The requirement includes the delivery of the model, associated documentation, and code that the government can independently develop.
Quotes and supporting documents must be submitted to the point of contact, Matthew M. Carr, via email. The solicitation schedule includes several milestones, with Phase I submittals due by March 10, 2026, and Phase II submittals due by March 20, 2026.
