FR26RDI20000000023 - NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD A SOLE SOURCE CONTRACT

THIS IS A NOTICE OF INTENT (NOI) TO AWARD A SOLE SOURCE CONTRACT AND IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS.

The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) intends to award a sole-source contract to the MITRE Corporation to provide Rail Information Sharing Environment (RISE) Program Development Support Services as a follow-on requirement to continue work previously performed by MITRE under Contract No. 693JJ624C000049 during the base performance period.

RISE is a voluntary, non-regulatory, non-punitive, data-driven railroad safety partnership between FRA and railroad stakeholders. Under the RISE data trust model, participating railroads voluntarily share operational and safety-related data and collaborate with FRA to analyze risks and address complex railroad safety challenges. Continuity of program governance, stakeholder engagement, and data-trust architecture is essential to avoid duplication of cost, schedule delays, and risk to analytical integrity.

AUTHORITY

This sole source action is conducted under 41 U.S.C. § 3304(a)(3), as implemented by FAR 6.302-3, 'Industrial mobilization; engineering, developmental, or research capability; or expert services, ' and FAR 6.302-3(a)(2)(ii), which permits the establishment or maintenance of an essential engineering, research, or development capability to be provided by a federally funded research and development center (FFRDC). No solicitation or request for quote is available.

PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE

The contemplated award will include a 12-month base period, followed by two (2) 12-month option periods, for a total potential period of performance of 36 months, if all options are exercised by the Government.

RESPONSE INSTRUCTIONS

This Notice of Intent is not a request for competitive proposals; however, interested parties may submit a capability statement that clearly demonstrates the ability to perform the RISE continuation effort...
