- Description
- This Sources Sought Notice is for planning purposes only and shall not be construed as a solicitation or as an obligation on the part of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The purpose of this Notice is to identify potential sources that may be interested in and capable of performing the work described herein. The NHTSA welcomes Corporate Capability Statements from all individuals and organizations. The NHTSA does not intend to award a contract on the basis of responses nor otherwise pay for the preparation of any information submitted or NHTSA's use of such information. Acknowledgement of receipt of responses will not be made, nor will respondents be notified of NHTSA's evaluation of the information received. As a result of this Notice, the NHTSA may issue a Request for Proposals (RFP). However, should such a requirement fail to materialize, no basis for claims against the NHTSA shall arise as a result of a response to this Notice. Scope: The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is an agency within the US Department of Transportation. NHTSA's mission is to save lives, prevent injuries, and reduce the economic costs of traffic crashes through education, research, safety standards, and enforcement activity. NHTSA accomplishes this in part by working to ensure that complete, accurate, and timely traffic safety data are collected, analyzed, and made available for decision-making at the national, State, and local levels. Analyzing reliable and accurate traffic records data is central to identifying traffic safety problems and designing effective countermeasures to reduce injuries and deaths caused by crashes. NHTSA promotes a comprehensive, systematic approach to assessing the performance of traffic records systems, and works with a several partners in the public and private sector, including national non-profit organizations, to achieve this vision and mission. NHTSA's National Driver Register and Traffic Records Division provides coordinated Federal leadership to improve the timeliness, accuracy, completeness, uniformity, integration, and accessibility of the crash, driver, vehicle, roadway, citation and adjudication, and injury surveillance databases. Specifically, NHTSA provides States with §408 grant money and technical assistance to improve their traffic records systems. To receive §408 funds, States are required to conduct an impartial assessment of their traffic records systems every five years. In 2010, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) recommended that NHTSA ensure State traffic records assessments provide a complete, consistent, and in-depth evaluation of all State traffic safety data systems across all performance measures. NHTSA also solicited feedback from assessors and assessment participants to find that many found the traffic records assessments costly, cumbersome, and either too tightly focused or lacking in appropriate prescriptive detail. In addition, the current assessment process is unsustainable because there is a chronic shortage of qualified subject matter experts willing and capable of traveling to a State for a week to conduct an assessment. As a result, NHTSA is reorganizing the State traffic records assessments by (1) updating the Traffic Records Advisory that describes the model traffic records systems and establishes the standard for assessing the different components of States' traffic records systems, and (2) replacing the week-long onsite assessment with an electronic, remote assessment that will be paired with optional technical assistance. The purpose of this contract is to identify, recruit, train, and deploy a sustainable group of subject matter experts to conduct impartial assessments of State traffic records systems, and-upon request-provide States with specialized technical assistance. Format of Corporate Capabilities Statement: Any interested organizations should submit the Corporate Capability Statement which demonstrates the firm's ability and interest in no more than 10 pages to perform the key requirements described above. All proprietary information should be marked as such. All respondents are asked to indicate the type and size of their business organization, e.g., Large business, Small Business, Small Disadvantaged Business, Women-Owned-Business, 8(A), Historically Black College or University/Minority Institution (HBCU/MI), educational institution, profit/non-profit organization, in their response. Interested offerors shall respond to this Sources Sought Notice no later than 15 calendar days from date of posting. E-mail is the preferred method when receiving responses to this Notice.
