Description
The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) / Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) is conducting market research to determine if there are any organizations capable of providing Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Multimodal Standards Development, Maintenance and Support Activities. The contractor will be responsible for the development, evolution, and validation of non-proprietary, consensus-based mobility standards. The scope of work includes standards development and maintenance, consensus and stakeholder management, technical validation, and strategic coordination. The contractor must demonstrate experience in the verification, validation, and deployment of standards, as well as the ability to bring together different stakeholders to develop consensus-based standards.
• Standards Development & Maintenance: Creating new and updating existing non-proprietary standards using a rigorous systems engineering process.
• Consensus & Stakeholder Management: Leading an open, balanced, and transparent process that facilitates active participation from the public sector and industry.
• Technical Validation: Overseeing the technical "ground-truthing" of standards, including the implementation, testing, verification, and validation of protocols to ensure they work in real-world applications.
• Strategic Coordination: Aligning standards development with ongoing R&D, operational tests, and field deployments to identify gaps and inform future standard evolutions.
