- Description
- The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is an integral part of the United States Department of Transportation (DOT) and its mission is to save lives, prevent injuries, and reduce health care and other economic costs associated with motor vehicle crashes. To accomplish this, NHTSA performs research and develops safety programs and standards in an effort to reduce the toll of deaths, injuries, and property damage from traffic crashes. Motor vehicle crash investigations play a vital role in that effort by providing support data concerning real world events to aid in the development and subsequent evaluation of these programs and standards. In order to meet its data requirements, NHTSA has been collecting and analyzing crash and related data on various levels. The data's level of sophistication range from population data and the basic data contained in routine police traffic crash reports, to the comprehensive in-depth data contained in special reports by professional crash investigation teams. As part of the multi-level system described, NHTSA has sponsored a network of three regional SCI teams around the country in order to study selected crashes on a clinical, in-depth basis and consequently provide detailed investigative reports and data to the top level of the multi-level system. Those Regions are identified as Eastern, Central and Western. The purpose of this RFP is to establish an in-depth crash investigation team in the Eastern Region for continuous, in-depth study of highway traffic crashes that are of special interest to NHTSA. The Eastern Region is defined to include the NHTSA regions and states as follows: NHTSA Regions I, II, III, and IV; and the states of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, West Virginia, Kentucky, Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, Florida and Puerto Rico. The primary objective of this contract is to provide NHTSA with timely capability of investigating, documenting and evaluating a variety of crashes. These crash investigations typically involve school buses, motorcoach, 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, vehicles equipped with crash avoidance technologies, and other special interest crashes as they arise. The NAICS Code for this contract is 541712. Contractors must be registered in the Central Contractor Registration Database located at http://www.ccr.gov, and must complete electronic representatives and certification on the ORCA database located at http://orca.bpn.gov to be considered for contract award. It is the Government's intent to award a Time and Material Labor Hour type contract resulting from the solicitation, with or without discussions, to the responsible offeror whose proposal, conforming to the solicitation, is most advantageous to the Government based on the evaluation factors contained in the solicitation. It is the Offeror's responsibility to monitor the FedBizOpps Internet site for the release of the solicitation and amendments (if any). Potential Offerors will be responsible for downloading their own copy of the solicitation and amendments (if any). Requests for paper copies of the RFP will not be accepted. The estimated date for release of the solicitation is on or about October 15, 2011. Period of Performance: Base period of thirty-six (36) months plus two (2) one (1) year option periods for a total of five (5) years. Contract Award: NHTSA intends to issue a full and open, competitive Request for Proposals (RFP) with the intention of awarding a Time and Material Labor Hour type contract for a performance period not to exceed five (5) years after the effective date of the resultant contract. The anticipated award date for this resultant contract is expected on or about December 26, 2011.
