BACKGROUND: The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (NHTSA) mission is to save lives, prevent injuries, and reduce traffic-related health care and other economic costs. The agency develops, promotes, and implements effective educational, engineering, and enforcement programs with the goal of ending vehicle crash tragedies and reducing economic costs associated with vehicle use and highway travel. The Non-Traffic Surveillance (NTS) system is a virtual data collection system designed to provide counts and details regarding fatalities and injuries that occur in non-traffic crashes and in non-crash incidents. The non crash incident portion consists of a non crash injury database. It uses a file from a special study collected for NHTSA by the Consumer Product Safety Commission's National Electronic Injury Surveillance System All Injury Program (NEISS-AIP). This is a special file of medical records containing information on a statistical sample of injuries seen in emergency departments. Frequent types of non-crash injury incidents include injuries while entering or exiting vehicles (boarding or alighting), injuries from closing doors. overexertion while unloading cargo from a vehicle or pushing a disabled vehicle, cuts from parts of the vehicle, striking a vehicle or struck by a part of the vehicle falls from or against vehicles incidents involving jacks or hoists, and radiator or antifreeze bums. There are four variables entered at the hospital and two variables entered at CPSC that were used by NHTSA to identify and classify passenger vehicle non crash injuries. The variables coded at the hospital include the product code, the intent variable, the diagnosis variable, and narrative description. The variables coded at CPSC include precipitating mechanism and the occupant variable. The product variable is entered at the hospital. The motor vehicle product code is used whenever a motor vehicle is involved in an injury scenario. The product code on a record shows that the product was mentioned in the description, but does not indicate that the product played a direct role in causing the injury. The set of possible non crash injuries consists of all NEISS-AIP cases with motor vehicle codes.

Monthly review of motor vehicle study cases to understand the classification and coding process. Occasionally review motor vehicle cases in response to a NHTSA request to locate a particular injury mechanism. Create a final weighted data set using appropriate weights as supplied by the NEISS-AlP program. Produce appropriate spreadsheets representing at least the significant incident types, injury mechanisms, ages, and locations of the incidents. Document methodology used in conducting tasks C.3.3 Tables Produced The Contractor shall produce tables including but not limited to: Annual average injuries by the type of hazard pattern by age group of injured person by sex of injured person by location by disposition of injured person by type of involved vehicle by motion of involved vehicle by position of injured person relative to vehicle by diagnosis Hazard pattern by location Age group of injured person by type of hazard pattern Examples of previously produced tables can be found at: ftp://ftp.nhtsa.dot.gov/NiTS/Noncrash%20injuries/2011-2012/ Format of Corporate Capabilities Statement: Any interested qualified Small Business (SB), Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB), 8(a) Certified SDB, HUBZone SB, SDVOSB, or WOSB concerns should submit their Corporate Capability Statement, which demonstrates the firm's ability and past experience in no more than 10 pages to perform the key requirements described above to the identified NHTSA point of contact listed herein.
