- Description
- The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is one Operational Administration within the US Department of Transportation. NHTSA is responsible for reducing the number of injuries and deaths occurring on the nation's highways. As one approach to fulfilling this responsibility, NHTSA analyzes vehicle crashes in an attempt to determine what environmental, human, or mechanical factors may have contributed. The purpose of this procurement is to provide NHTSA with the capability to investigate, document and evaluate a variety of vehicle crashes on a short-notice basis. These crash investigations typically involve school buses, child restraint systems, new or emerging technologies in automatic restraint equipped vehicles, alternative fuel vehicles, safety defects, adaptive control equipped vehicles, fires, crashes involving air bag deployment related fatalities and serious injuries and other special interest crashes as they arise. Under this contract, the contractor shall be responsible for the timely gathering and documenting of data pertaining to these crashes. The contractor shall also be responsible for the quality control of data submitted to NHTSA¡¦s Electronic Data System (EDS). Specific objectives are as follows: The contractor shall document pre-crash, at-crash and post crash circumstances and determine and describe the combination of vehicular, occupant, and environmental conditions associated with the identified crashes; The contractor shall identify and report on all injuries resulting from the crash and associate each injury to the corresponding vehicle component or other object struck during the collision sequence; The contractor shall determine and report on school bus crash configurations which produce injuries, the impact speeds involved, the positions of the children in the buses (seated, standing, etc.), and the crashworthiness of the buses involved; The contractor shall examine and report on vehicles equipped with new or emerging technology in safety equipment to provide the NHTSA with information on the effectiveness of this rapidly changing technology, and; As needed, the contractor shall provide input on the effectiveness of the case vehicle¡¦s performance to existing Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) and Highway Safety Program Standards (HSPS) and /or any safety related defect. NHTSA anticipates awarding three (3) contracts for these services in order to support three (3) major geographic regions within the United States (Western, Central, and Eastern.) Current plans state that no one contractor will receive award of more than one contract and that contracts will last at least three (3) years with options to increase the term by an additional two (2) years in one (1) year increments. Any questions regarding this announcement, and its corresponding Request for Proposal must be submitted to the Primary Point of Contact, S. Peter Shultz at Pete.Shultz@dot.gov by no later than 10 August 2006. NOTE: THIS NOTICE MAY HAVE POSTED ON FEDBIZOPPS ON THE DATE INDICATED IN THE NOTICE ITSELF (31-JUL-2006).
