Rail Traffic Controller (RTC) License and Maintenance Plan
The Federal Railroad Administration plans to award a sole-source contract to Berekley Simulation Software for annual maintenance of two Rail Traffic Controller (RTC) software perpetual licenses. The total cost is $39,600 for a base year plus two option years, with the first year’s maintenance priced at $12,800 for the period July 15, 2026 through July 14, 2027. A notice of intent to sole source was published on July 15, 2026, and will remain available for 10 days prior to solicitation. This action is justified because Berekley is the sole developer and distributor of the RTC software, and no other vendor can provide the required maintenance.
