INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW

The United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) Intelligent Transportation Systems Joint Program Office (ITS JPO) is announcing its intent to solicit proposals under this Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) for the topic titled ITS4US Deployment Accelerator. This BAA is developed in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.101(b)(3)(ii) and FAR 35.102, which provides USDOT an acquisition tool with the flexibility to make awards to meet present and compelling needs. This BAA is an expression of interest only and does not commit the Government to pay any proposal preparation costs. All responsible, eligible sources capable of satisfying the Government's needs may submit a proposal. The Government reserves the right to award contracts that are determined to be of benefit to the Government in achieving the goals of this program. 1.1
Background
The ITS JPO collaborates across modal administrations to coordinate and plan the USDOT’s Multimodal ITS Technology Research Program. This program improves transportation safety, mobility, and efficiency, and enhances productivity through the integration of innovative technologies into the nation’s transportation system.
ITS JPO delivers large-scale ITS deployment programs (e.g., ITS4US, V2X Accelerator, and Connected Vehicle Pilots) addressing key transportation challenges and enhancing safety, efficiency, and mobility. These programs develop, test, and deploy mature and emerging transportation technologies to operate at full-scale in real-world settings. These successful deployments also serve as replicable models that others can use to solve similar transportation challenges in their own localities more rapidly, and at lower cost and risk.
ITS JPO historically focused efforts to encourage replication of deployment successes on public outreach and publishing documentation, data, and code developed by the projects. Now, ITS JPO is looking to more proactively encourage replication and deployment through activities such as the cohorts program, which established a collaborative environment for vehicle-to-everything (V2X) deployers. However, engaging with various localities in different stages of the project/deployment life-cycle constrains the
