- Description
The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) intends to negotiate and award a sole source purchase order to the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) for a subscription to the FHWA licensed AASHTO Pavement ME Design software.
This action is being conducted pursuant to the authority of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.106-1(b), soliciting from a single source.
The AASHTO Pavement ME Design software implements the current, official AASHTO pavement-design procedure. Due to the complexity and extensive computational requirements inherent in the design procedure, it is implemented solely through this unique and proprietary computer software. The AASHTO Pavement ME Design software is a sole proprietary product of AASHTO.
