U -- TRAFFIC CRASH BYSTANDER CARE CAMPAIGN SOL DTNH22-96-R-05114 DUE 070196 POC Contacting Officer, S. Peter Shultz, (202) 366-9561 The objective of this procurement is to develop a national campaign to increase the participation of bystanders in providing immediate care to traffic crash victims. In order to reduce highway traffic deaths, the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Division of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB) have focused its efforts on the care that crash victims receive from bystanders before the arrival of emergency medical personnel. To assist in these efforts, NHTSA produced a National Standard Curriculum (NSC) for Bystander Care. The Curriculum describes the few actions that are most critical for survival from motor vehicle crashes. In considering how the Bystander Care messages might reach large numbers of people, the NSC advocates a much wider variety of communication strategies (e.g. video, audio, and print) than are commonly associated with traditional first aid instruction. The objective of this procurement is to develop a national campaign to implement this Bystander Care Program nationwide. This bi-lingual campaign (English and Spanish) shall be designed to take advantage of the potential to offer specific materials and services to state and local organizations to increase their capacity to achieve the goals of the Bystander Care Program. The solicitation will be mailed to those interested parties responding by letter or FAX (202) 366-9555. No telephone requests please. The anticipated RFP issue date is June 1, 1996 (0123)
