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.

Scope For research to develop Rechargeable Energy Storage Systems (RESS) Safety Assessment and Discharge procedures. The recent introduction of high voltage battery electric vehicles have raised concerns with the proper methods to assess the safety of a RESS system after a crash and how to discharge or render safe both undamaged and damaged RESS. NHTSA is seeking to initiate a 26 month research task to develop and demonstrate proposed procedures for assessing the safety of a RESS, safely discharging an intact RESS, and deenergization of a damaged RESS. 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.
