Cabinet department
Selling to the Department of Transportation
The Department of Transportation contracts through the FAA, FHWA, FTA, FRA, and NHTSA. The FAA dominates its direct contract spend, particularly in air traffic control modernization.
What DOT buys
- Air traffic control systems and modernization
- Transportation research and safety analysis
- Highway and infrastructure engineering
- Aviation training and certification support
Common NAICS codes on DOT solicitations
Small-business notes
The FAA operates under its own Acquisition Management System (AMS) rather than the standard FAR process, which changes how solicitations are structured and evaluated. Read FAA opportunities carefully — the familiar FAR conventions may not apply.
