Acknowledgement of receipt of responses will not be made; and no formal evaluation of the information received will be conducted by NHTSA.

However, should such a requirement fail to materialize, no basis for claims against NHTSA shall arise as a result of a response to this notice. 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. NHTSA's Office of Emergency Medical Services' (OEMS) mission is to reduce death and disability by providing leadership and coordination to the EMS community in assessing, planning, developing, and promoting comprehensive, evidence-based emergency medical services and 9-1-1 systems. Furthermore, t he mission of the National 911 Program, which is housed within NHTSA's Office of EMS, is to provide Federal leadership and coordination in supporting and promoting optimal 911 services. This Federal "home" for 911 plays a critical role by coordinating public and private sector efforts that support 911 services; collecting and creating resources for local and state 911 Authorities who operate the 911 system; and administering a grant program specifically for the benefit of 911 Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs). OEMS has no direct statutory authority to mandate the use of these programs and products, and so must rely in the engagement of EMS and 911 stakeholders to expand their use by the EMS and 911 communities. OEMS seeks to promote the expansion and utilization of its successful projects by actively marketing projects of relevance to appropriate stakeholders using language they will understand and react positively toward. The ultimate success of the projects funded by OEMS is dependent upon all appropriate stakeholders having awareness and knowledge of these projects and their potential benefits. Only through actively marketing specific OEMS programs and projects will this level of awareness be realized. The National 911 Program convenes stakeholders to establish best practices with the goal of supporting the 911 community in providing improved 911 services. NHTSA leverages its investment by pursuing strategic national initiatives that are supported by national 911 organizations and executed in conjunction with federal partners. These investments, combined with the enthusiastic implementation of a dedicated national 911 community help ensure success in generating sustainable national 911 system improvements. OBJECTIVE: The objective is to manage the facilitation of a process to engage the 911 stakeholder community in the creation and completion of a National Next Generation 911 Roadmap/Agenda document that specifies both technical and nontechnical tasks that must be completed at the national level, in order for a fully operational, integrated NG911 system of systems to be accomplished. Capabilities: The corporate capability statement must address the capabilities necessary to accomplish the scope outlined above as well as the additional tasks and characteristics given below: According to data collected by the National 911 Profile Database, many states are implementing NG911, and are looking toward interconnection with other states. There are tasks (both technical and nontechnical) that probably should be completed at the national level, if a nationwide "system of systems" is to be achieved that interconnects all state NG911 networks. Some of these tasks could be completed by the federal government. Others are best addressed by other organizations, but at the national level. To date, this list of tasks has not been composed. The Corp. Capability Statement should address their experience of the contractor, to facilitate and coordinate groups of stakeholders and produce written reports as evidence of the contractor's capability to a produce a National Next Generation 911 Roadmap/Agenda document that specifies both technical and nontechnical tasks that must be completed at the national level, in order for a fully operational, integrated NG911 system of systems to be accomplished. Stakeholder consensus and coordinated efforts by the 911 stakeholders at the local, regional, state, national and federal levels are instrumental in ensuring the full implementation of Next Generation 911. A national plan would best be developed and adopted by those who will carry it out - the 911 stakeholders. The National 911 Program, as the Federal "home" for 911 plays a critical role by coordinating public and private sector efforts that support 911 services. This program is uniquely suited to bring together representatives of all sectors of the 911 stakeholder community, to decide for itself, which activities, both technical and nontechnical, must be accomplished in order to achieve full NG 911 deployment.
