This Limited Source Justification will incorporate the FHWA Highway Performance Monitoring System (HPMS) 9.0 application into the performance of FHWA Order No. 693JJ321F000103 under the Operations and Maintenance (O&M) CLIN 02000 – 32000 and the Development, Modernization and Enhancement (DME) CLIN 00300 – 20300. The authority to award the modification to increase the ceiling value of the subject order is FAR 8.405-6(c). The Highway Performance Monitoring System (HPMS) is a national level highway information system that includes data on the extent, condition, performance, use, and operating characteristics of the Nation's highways. In general, the HPMS contains administrative information and extent of system information on all public roads, while information on other characteristics is represented in HPMS as a mix of universe and sample data for arterial and collector functional systems. The major purpose of the HPMS is to support a data driven decision process within FHWA, the DOT, and the Congress. The HPMS data is used extensively in the analysis of highway system condition, performance, and investment needs that make up the biennial Condition and Performance Reports to Congress. These Reports are used by the Congress in establishing both authorization and appropriation legislation, activities that ultimately determine the scope and size of the Federal-aid Highway Program and determine the level of Federal highway taxation. The addition of HPMS 9.0 in the subject order will allow the Office of Policy Information to maintain its overall mission with an enhanced system of capturing and analyzing information on all public roads. HPMS 9.0 provides all of the capabilities of HPMS 8.0 on a new and enhanced platform with upgrades to some of the key functionalities. Incorporating the O&M and DME support of HPMS 9.0 into this order will allow the Office of Policy Information to capitalize on the contractor’s expertise gained through its O&M support of the HPMS 8.0 system, and will allow the office to realize synergies across its portfolio of systems that are all supported under the subject order. The DME support will allow the vendor to add some key features to HPMS 9.0 that support state submissions and review capabilities.
