Why bid Department of Transportation
FAA NextGen modernization is the largest single small-biz IT channel within DOT — multi-year IDIQs (eFAST, SE2025) carry small-business pools. FHWA work flows mostly through state DOTs as federal-aid pass-through, so direct-FHWA contracts are concentrated in research / safety / standards rather than construction. Highway construction set-asides are heavily DBE (Disadvantaged Business Enterprise — state-administered).
