Pursuant to 13.106-1(b), the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) intends to negotiate a single source purchase order with The University of Maryland’s Center for Advanced Transportation Technology (CATT) to provide financial assistance for CATT to develop and update course materials for the 2022 National Operations Academy Senior Management Program to incorporate the latest research and products from FHWA and other sources. The University of Maryland’s Center for Advanced Transportation Technology (CATT) annually hosts the National Operations Academy for key transportation personnel from various state and local agencies nationwide. CATT is the only group to host such training on this scale. When CATT develops the course material for this annual training, it reaches a key audience of rising operations leaders that then take this material back to many others in their agencies expanding the reach and incorporating the material in their practices. In the past, this training has proven to be very effective in advancing key operations programs across the country. Given this, it’s critical that the material being used here is up to date to reflect the latest FHWA resources.
