This requirement is to obtain the necessary qualified personnel, materials, facilities, equipment and services to perform data collection and evaluation support for the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's occupant protection survey programs. One of NHTSA goals is to increase the use of safety belts and motorcycle helmets. NHTSA has used large scale observational surveys to measure occupant restraint use in the metropolitan and the national levels. Nationwide surveys may be conducted biannually and smaller, reduced scale surveys may be conducted as required. Also, the contractor may be requested to review the current survey design and provide recommendations for improvement. The contractor also may be requested to provide states or communities assistance in designing, implementing and improving their own restraint use surveys. The offerors must demonstrate experience in statistical design, direct collection, compilation, and analysis of data for large scale national survey. Also, the offerors must demonstrate the ability to quickly field a network of experience data collectors which can implement and directly collect observational data on a national level. The Government contemplates awarding a Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity task order type contract. The Government requirements will be identified and perform under issued Task Orders. The period of performance is for base period of three (3) years with options for two (2) additional one-year periods.
