KBR will use its AI-driven solutions to continue to accelerate Information Technology (IT) and systems engineering capabilities in partnership with the U.S. Department of Transportation's Volpe National Transportation Systems Center in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

KBR will provide engineering services, AI, machine learning, modern web frameworks, modeling and simulation techniques, big data and analytics under the Transportation, Technology & Engineering Mission Solutions (TTEMS) contract. TTEMS is a single-award, five-year Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA), issued through the U.S. General Services Administration Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) program, and will include firm fixed-price, time-and-materials and labor-hour BPA calls. KBR will perform the work in Cambridge and other locations worldwide.

"TTEMS reflects KBR's long-standing partnership with the Volpe Center and our shared commitment to keeping people and goods moving safely and efficiently," said Todd May, Senior Vice President of Mission Technology Solutions. "We deliver AI-powered critical technologies and engineering expertise faster, helping customers enhance infrastructure and respond rapidly to evolving transportation challenges."

The TTEMS contract spans all modes of transportation, including the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Federal Highway Administration, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and other DOT modal agencies as well as the Department of War and additional federal agencies.

KBR has supported the Volpe Center with Speed to Mission ImpactSM for more than 15 years, helping government agencies adopt innovative technologies that improve safety, reduce risk and support more sustainable transportation systems nationwide. This work encompasses:

  • Safer, smarter traffic systems: KBR supports the development of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) that will enable vehicles, traffic signals and roadway infrastructure to communicate with each other in real time. These systems will reduce accidents, improve traffic flow and prepare roadways for connected and automated vehicles.



     
  • Precise navigation for vehicles and aircraft: KBR engineers advance Position, Navigation and Timing (PNT) technologies that provide highly accurate situational awareness essential to aviation safety, transportation coordination and automated vehicle systems.



     
  • Modern aviation safety oversight: KBR helps develop and deploy the System Approach for Safety Oversight (SASO), a modern platform the FAA uses to analyze safety data, identify risks more quickly and make faster, more informed decisions to enhance aviation safety.



     
  • Improving large truck safety nationwide: KBR analyzes commercial truck and bus safety data for the FMCSA to evaluate risk factors, refine regulations and strengthen national safety programs that protect drivers and passengers across U.S. highways.
