Opportunity Information: Apply for 693JJ320NF00006
The National Operations Center for Excellence opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number 693JJ320NF00006) is a discretionary Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) notice under the U.S. Department of Transportation. It is structured as a Cooperative Agreement, meaning the work is expected to involve substantial federal involvement or collaboration during performance rather than operating like a hands-off grant. The activity category is listed as Information and Statistics, and it is associated with CFDA 20.200.
The core purpose of the action is to continue support services for what FHWA calls the "National Operations Center of Excellence Support." In practical terms, this is framed as ongoing work related to transportation operations knowledge, research, and the transfer of operational practices and innovations across the transportation community. The description ties the effort to Transportation System Management and Operations (TSMO), which generally covers strategies and technologies that help agencies get more performance and reliability out of existing roadway networks through better operations, coordination, and management rather than new construction alone.
This notice is not a competitive funding announcement. FHWA is explicitly stating its intent to make a sole-source award to the American Association of State Highway Officials (AASHTO). The legal authority cited for making a cooperative agreement directly with AASHTO is 23 U.S.C. 502(b)(3)(C), which authorizes FHWA to enter into cooperative agreements with AASHTO to carry out research, development, and technology transfer activities related to transportation across all phases of transportation planning and development, including TSMO. Because it is sole-source, the usual expectation that multiple applicants can apply and compete does not apply here; the posting functions mainly as a public notice of the government’s planned award.
From a funding and scale standpoint, the opportunity lists an award ceiling of $2,500,000 and an expectation of one award. The opportunity was created on December 15, 2020, with an original closing date of February 15, 2021. While an "Eligible Applicants" field appears, the text makes clear that eligibility is effectively constrained by the sole-source nature of the award and the government’s specified recipient, AASHTO, rather than open eligibility to the broader public.Apply for 693JJ320NF00006
