- Description
- COST, WEIGHT AND LEAD TIME ANALYSIS OF VEHICLE SYSTEMS AND COMPONENTS This synopsis is issued in accordance with FAR Part 5.203 in response to the mandatory requirement for a 15 day pre-solicitation notification. BACKGROUND The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has comprehensive programs to evaluate proposed and existing motor vehicle safety regulations to determine their effectiveness, benefits, and costs. These programs include (1) estimation of the incremental weights and initial costs of safety features that have been proposed in Agency initiatives to enhance motor vehicle safety in accordance with the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1966 as amended and lead time and/or effects on manufacturers and suppliers and (2) evaluation of the weight and initial consumer cost of components that have been modified or added to motor vehicles in order to comply with the performance requirements of existing regulations. SCOPE OF WORK T he task orders issued under this procurement will conduct cost studies of motor vehicle equipment and perform detailed engineering "teardown" analyses to provide definitive cost and weight estimates of this equipment. The results will serve as the basis for NHTSA's evaluation of the costs, weights, and lead time impacts of proposed initiatives, and compliance with the performance requirements of existing regulations. The contractor(s) will be required to dismantle the systems and subsystems of the motor vehicle equipment under study for cost and weight analysis and may also be required to analyze lead time and/or effects on manufacturers and suppliers for selected equipment that are not yet required in all new vehicles. TYPE OF CONTRACT NHTSA intends to award multiple Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Contracts, against which, Time and Materials Task Orders will be issued. PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE The period of performance will include a twelve (12) month base period with the potential to exercise four (4), one-year option periods. This procurement is for full and open competition. The NAICS code is 541380. It is anticipated that the solicitation will be released electronically in late May, 2015 via this Government Point of Entry (GPE) otherwise known as Federal Business Opportunities or www.fbo.gov. As such, no written, telephonic or other type of request for an advance copy of the solicitation will be entertained at this time. Potential offerors/vendors are encouraged to register on www.fbo.gov to receive any further information in reference to the subject action inclusive of any announcements, and/or amendments to the solicitation after its release.
