Description

The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) intends to award a sole source contract to Duos Technologies, Inc. for a Mobile Railcar Inspection Portal (m-RIP) system. The system is a proprietary, commercially available automated inspection technology that can capture high-resolution imagery of moving railcars and apply automated analytics to support safety inspection research. The FRA seeks to validate the system's ability to identify 'Areas of Interest' (AOIs) that correlate to potential mechanical defects on rolling stock in a live operational railroad environment. * The m-RIP system is a proprietary, integrated hardware-and-software platform. * The system can capture high-resolution imagery of moving railcars. * The system applies automated analytics to support safety inspection research. * The FRA seeks to validate the system's ability to identify 'Areas of Interest' (AOIs) that correlate to potential mechanical defects on rolling stock. * The contract is for a Solution-as-a-Service (SaaS) Test Pilot Program.

Budget estimate

$500,000 – $5,000,000

The budget for this contract is not specified in the document. However, considering the complexity and proprietary nature of the m-RIP system, the contract value could be substantial. The FRA's budget for safety research and development might be a factor in determining the contract value. Additionally, the cost of the m-RIP system, including hardware, software, and maintenance, could influence the budget. A rough estimate for the contract value could be between $500,000 and $5,000,000, considering the scope of the project and the proprietary technology involved.
