The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) Research and Development (R&D) Core Research Program announces this competitive solicitation for proposals focused strictly on Technology Transfer (T2) and Commercialization Advancement. The core objective of this Research Announcement is to accelerate the transition of high-impact pipeline safety innovations from advanced laboratory and operational prototypes to full-scale commercial deployment and operational field implementation across the Nation's energy transportation infrastructure.
This solicitation specifically targets mature technologies at high Technology Readiness Levels (TRL 7–9) to bridge the critical 'implementation gap' by resolving final technical, regulatory, operational, credentialing, and market hurdles. Funding will only be awarded for projects that demonstrate a clear, definitive path to producing deployable technology, commercial products, or integrated service system ready for immediate market availability and pipeline operator adoption upon project completion.
The project must accelerate the transition of mature pipeline safety technologies (TRL 7–9) to full-scale commercial deployment. Work includes performing a targeted market and regulatory review, developing a comprehensive commercialization roadmap, conducting final-stage validation and pilot-scale demonstrations in an operational environment, and specifying testing protocols. The project must include a pipeline operator or service provider as an active partner to host field-testing, provide a minimum 50% non-Federal cost share, and deliver a mandatory transition-to-practice plan ensuring a market-ready product within 12 months. A Technical Advisory Panel (TAP) comprising at least two to three pipeline operators and a minimum of two academic representatives is required.

Apply straight through for it — or prequalify once and skip the application on both.
A surety’s written statement that it expects to bond you up to a stated amount, subject to final underwriting. It’s what a GC or agency asks to see before they take your bid seriously.
