    Appendix A CPNT SOO Rapid Phase II.pdf
    The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) is soliciting proposals for rapidly deploying and testing Complementary Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (CPNT) technologies through a multi-award Request for Quotation (RFQ). This initiative is part of the DOT’s CPNT Action Plan, aiming to enhance the resilience of the nation’s critical infrastructure, which heavily relies on positioning and timing services. The Volpe National Transportation Systems Center seeks CPNT services with a Technical Readiness Level (TRL) of 8 or higher, to be operationally ready within six months post-award. Proposals must include partnerships with critical infrastructure owners and outline plans to evaluate CPNT technologies under various conditions, including disruptions to traditional GPS and vulnerability testing. The evaluation emphasizes performance metrics and the ability to adapt to realistic threat scenarios, making the service reliable for critical sectors like energy and transportation. Field campaigns will commence upon award, focusing on resilience testing over a one-year period. Successful proposals will demonstrate operational readiness, compliance with regulations, and the potential for broader industry application. This solicitation represents a critical step toward ensuring the reliability and adoption of CPNT technologies alongside existing systems, fostering improved national security and operational efficiency in critical sectors.
    Appendix B - Request for Quote 6913G625Q300008.pdf
    The document is a Request for Quote (RFQ) issued by the VOLPE National Transportation Systems Center under the Department of Transportation. It seeks pricing for the provision of deployment and evaluation of Connected and Automated Vehicle Technologies (CPNT) in various conditions. The RFQ specifies that the inquiries are to be submitted by January 14, 2025, at 4:00 PM EST, with contract awards to follow based on firm fixed pricing. The RFQ outlines two line items: one for the CPNT technology deployment and evaluation, which is expected to span one year, and the second for associated travel costs. Notably, service contract wage determination rates shall apply. The RFQ does not constitute an order but invites potential contractors to provide their pricing and details for further evaluation. This initiative reflects the government’s efforts to enhance transportation systems through innovative technologies while maintaining compliance with wage standards.
