Budget flexibility
The Phase I budget ceiling is $200,000. For a proposer developing both hardware prototype components (RSU electronics, V2X radio integration) and software components (TMS proof-of-concept, ML congestion prediction model), is it acceptable to allocate the majority of the Phase I budget to personnel costs for two technical staff rather than equipment procurement, with hardware costs limited to evaluation kits and bench prototype components?

The Government cannot provide specific guidance on proposal strategy. It will be the offeror's responsibility to propose the solution that best meets requirements within the forthcoming solicitation.
