DTNH22-96-R-02003 DUE 062496 POC Contact S. Peter Shultz, Contract
Specialist (202) 366-9561 This is a re-announcement of a procurement
first advertised in the June 7, 1995 edition of the Commerce Business
Daily. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is
responsible for issuing Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS)
for passenger cars, trucks, and multi-purpose vehicles. A number of
these safety standards are currently in effect. These existing
standards may be reviewed or modified or new standards implemented in
the future. The Office of Vehicle Safety Standards (OVSS), Engineering
Systems Staff (ESS), requires extensive technical analysis and
fundamental research support since these FMVSS changes or
implementations could have significant effect on the consumer, on the
vehicle, and on the interaction of vehicle systems. These changes also
effect the manufacturing process, the manufacturer, and the material
or component suppliers. The primary purpose of this procurement will be
to provide the ESS with cost and lead time analysis of the effects on
the implementation of FMVSS's on manufacturers and suppliers. In
addition, the contractor may be required to perform engineering,
weight, and economic analysis as well as provide data collection to
assist ESS in completing comprehensive cost, weight, and lead time
studies. Typical tasks may include: vehicle systems analysis; analysis
of effects on manufacturers and suppliers; motor vehicle tear down
cost, weight, and lead time analysis. Cost estimates may include
life-cycle costs for the consumer. It is anticipated that an Indefinite
Quantity, Time and Materials type of contract will be awarded. The
proposed contract is for a period of 3 years. The solicitation will be
mailed to those interested parties responding by letter or FAX (202)
366-9555. No telephone requests, please. The anticipated RFP issue date
is 21 May 1996 (0120) Loren Data Corp. http://www.ld.com (SYN# 0008 19960430\B-0001.SOL)
