- Description
- The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (NHTSA) Vehicle Safety Hotline (Hotline) is the Department of Transportation's (DOT) primary point of contact for the general public to request safety defect information on passenger vehicles, heavy trucks, and recreational vehicle, or to report problems with motor vehicle equipment (e.g., air bags, motorcycle helmets, brakes, or child safety seats) that could affect safety. NHTSA evaluates the information gathered from the Hotline and from other sources to determine if serious safety problems exist. The primary objective of this procurement is to obtain agency mission-critical information from callers about vehicle or vehicle equipment problems that may warrant a formal safety defect investigation; record complaint data on possible safety-related vehicle problems; provide answers to consumer questions related to vehicle and child safety issues; perform call-backs from recorded messages; fulfill information requests; attend functions on request to market Hotline's services; electronically mail information to NHTSA action program offices on issues related to highway safety; refer calls to other non-safety related offices outside NHTSA (e.g. Environmental Protection Agency); and to provide general information in order to increase consumer understanding and awareness of issues concerning highway safety. NHTSA seeks a Contractor with innovative and cost effective approaches that will allow the Hotline to provide exceptional service to repeat and new customers and to enhance the agency's ability to collect safety defect information from the public. The Contractor shall be responsible for a turnkey Hotline call center operation to include all the necessary equipment, personnel, location, and managing of workflow.
