Contract Number: DTRT57-09-D-30003

Period of Performance: Oct 2008 - Sep 2013

Scope of Contract: IT Products, Maintenance, and Repair

RITA operates the Volpe National Transportation Systems Center in Cambridge, Massachusetts, which is dedicated to enhancing the effectiveness, efficiency and responsiveness of other Federal organizations with critical transportation-related functions.  Through research and development, engineering and analysis, the Volpe Center helps decision-makers define problems and pursue solutions to lead transportation into the 21st century.  In essence, the Volpe Center is a catalyst for innovation - a source of critical insight necessary to realize transportation's promising future.

The Volpe Center is funded exclusively through a Working Capital Fund (WCF). Sponsoring organizations transfer funds into the WCF in accordance with General Working Agreements (GWA) or reimbursable agreements. The agreement is implemented by Project Plan Agreements (PPA) negotiated between the Volpe Center and sponsoring agencies. These PPAs (or inter-agency project agreements) constitute the Volpe Center's technical program. The Volpe Center's staffing strategy uses a combination of Federal and contractor employees to meet the broad range and quantity of skills needed to support sponsor projects. Through Task order contracts and on-site technical support contracts, the Volpe Center can respond to uncertain, long-range requirements of these technical programs by establishing a "pool" of easily accessed professional technical resources. This procurement will provide a range of high technology capabilities and skills designed to meet Volpe Center programmatic requirements in the area of Communications, Navigation and Surveillance (CNS) Systems.
