NHTSA welcomes all qualified Small Business concerns, with the appropriate NAICS Code and past experience to submit their Corporate Capability Statements that demonstrates their ability to successfully accomplish the goals of the project as listed below.� Special consideration will be afforded to government-wide initiatives calling for less redundancy through Category Management and annual increases to Best-In-Class (BIC) & Spend Under Management (SUM) goals for the Department of Transportation.� Therefore, the agency will implement acquisition guidelines to maximize any opportunities for increased efficiencies through the use of Multiple Award Tier Level- 2, �Government-wide,� or Tier Level- 1 �Agency-wide� contract resources prior to consideration of soliciting on the open market.� In addition, the government will conduct market research to identify any qualified small businesses; NHTSA does not intend to award a contract on the basis of responses to this notice or otherwise pay for the preparation of any information submitted.� Acknowledgement of receipt of responses will not be made; no formal evaluation of the information received will be conducted by NHTSA.� NHTSA may; however later on issue a Request for Proposals (RFP).� However, should such a requirement fail to materialize, no basis for claims against NHTSA shall arise as a result of a response to this notice. Background: The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is an agency of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT). NHTSA�s mission is to save lives, prevent injuries, and reduce traffic-related health care and other economic costs.� The agency develops, promotes, and implements effective educational, engineering, and enforcement programs with the goal of ending vehicle crash tragedies and reducing economic costs associated with vehicle use and highway travel.� The various program offices located within NHTSA�s National Center for Statistics and Analysis (NCSA) conducts extensive research, development, testing, crash investigation, and data collection and analysis activities to provide the scientific basis needed to support the agency�s motor vehicle and traffic safety goals. NHTSA uses crash data in conjunction with vehicle statistical data for the following: Assess emerging vehicle safety issues for specific vehicle makes and models; Monitor normalized fatality and injury rates by vehicle categories; Provide input for the assessment of fatalities each year for vehicle size and crash rate correlations; Assist in identifying the spatial distribution of the affected vehicles with issues, i.e., the number of vehicles in each state; Support the examination of emerging issues in vehicles claims and complaints investigations; Conduct evaluation and regulatory impact analysis of NHTSA rulemaking by providing exposure data for vehicles with or without a safety feature; and Support analysis for both crash-avoidance and crash-worthiness rules. NHTSA strives to base its rulemaking and research priorities on findings from field crash data. In the late 1970s, NHTSA�s National Center for Statistics and Analysis (NCSA) devised an approach to provide nationally-representative traffic crash data. NHTSA�s NCSA operates data programs consisting of records-based systems (crash records recoded for uniformity) which include the Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) and Crash Report Sampling System (CRSS) formerly known as the National Automotive Sampling System General Estimates System (NASS-GES); and the investigation-based Crash Investigation Sampling System (CISS) formerly known as the National Automotive Sampling System Crashworthiness Data System (NASS-CDS) and Special Crash Investigations (SCI) programs. � Objective: The objective of this contract is to provide NHTSA with motor vehicle statistical data to support the agency�s mission.
