- Description
- The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (NHTSA) mission is to save lives, prevent injuries, and reduce traffic-related healthcare and other economic costs pursuant to its authority under 23 U.S.C. 401, et. seq., the agency develops researches, promotes and implements effective educational, engineering and enforcement programs with the goal of ending preventable tragedies and reducing economic costs associated with vehicle use and highway travel. NHTSA conducts extensive research, development, testing, crash investigation, data collection, and analysis activities to provide the scientific basis needed to support the Agency's motor vehicle and traffic safety goals. In addition to supporting internal NHTSA efforts, NHTSA-sponsored research provides high-quality publicly-accessible data that serves as the basis for countless other research endeavors. On July 23, 2015 NHTSA hosted a school bus safety summit in Washington, DC. Many of the groups present at this meeting participated in the summit including the National Association of Pupil Transportation, National Association School Directors Pupil Transportation Services, and National School Transportation Association. A number of interesting ideas for needed technical resources and further research came out of the NHTSA School Bus safety meeting. These resources and research could help NHTSA, the States and school transportation agencies reduce the number of injuries and fatalities related to school transportation. On average, from 2004 - 2013, each year 8 school-age pedestrians killed were struck by school transportation vehicles (school buses and non-school-bus vehicles used as school buses), and 4 by other vehicles involved in school-bus-related crashes. During this same time period, on average each year six school-age children are killed in collisions while riding in a school bus. By focusing on safety both in and around the school bus, we could envision a future where there really are zero school transportation fatalities. The objective of this contract is to provide research to understand state/local communities decisions to implement seat belts on school buses, collect information about their decision-making and the policies that are currently in effect to make their programs successful in an effort to create a model policy and best practices guide for State and local school districts. Additional research may include reduced pupil distraction with seat belt use. NHTSA seeks a Contractor to obtain information on the role of distraction in school bus crashes, with consideration of the use of seat belts in managing behavior on school buses. This acquisition is being offered for small business set aside. The NAICS Code for the anticipated contract is 541720. Contractors must be registered in the Systems for Award Management Database located at http://www.sams.gov, and must complete electronic representations and certification on the ORCA database located at http://orca.bpn.gov to be considered for contract award.

It is the Offeror’s responsibility to monitor the FedBizOpps Internet site for the release of the solicitation and amendments (if any).
