Title: Crash Report Sampling System (CRSS) Sampling Operations
Description(s):
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is issuing this Sources Sought Notice to identify potential qualified Small Business(SB), Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB), 8(a) Certified SDB, HUBZone SB, SDVOSB, or WOSB concerns that may be interested in and capable of performing the workdescribed herein to provide acquire services to operate the CRSS Sampling operations to include PAR collection, listing and sampling and quality control activities. The data generated in these studies will provide police reported crashes involving all types of motor vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists, ranging from property-damage-only crashes to those that result in fatalities. This statement of work applies to the record-based data collection, the Crash Report Sampling System (CRSS). CRSS is a sample of police reported crashes involving all types of motor vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists, ranging from property-damage-only crashes to those that result in fatalities. CRSS is used to estimate the overall crash picture, identify highway safety problem areas, measure trends, drive consumer information initiatives, and form the basis for cost and benefit analyses of highway safety initiatives and regulations.
NHTSA's data systems are essential to reducing the human and economic cost of motor vehicle crashes. The agency's various data systems are the only source of real-world crash data forconducting basic research, identifying problem areas, developing effective countermeasures, identifying program and rulemaking needs, developing and evaluatingprograms, rules, and standards, evaluating new technologies, and providing information to accurately assess and allocate grants for reducing crashes. This data collection and analysis activity helps to provide the scientific basis needed to support the agency's motor vehicle andtraffic safety goals. In addition to supporting internal NHTSA efforts, NHTSA-sponsored research provides high-quality publicly-accessible data that serves as the basis for countless other research endeavors.
NHTSA welcomes all qualified Small Business concerns, with the appropriate NAICS Code and past experience to submit their Corporate Capability Statements that demonstrate their ability to successfully accomplish the goals of the project as listed below. 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 aRequest 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 responsible for reducing deaths, injuries and economic losses resultingfrom motor vehicle crashes. Researchers need many sources of information to adequately measure the characteristics of the highway safety environment. NHTSA data are essential to reducing the human and economic cost of motor vehicle crashes. NHTSA's various data systems are the only source of real-world crash data for conducting basic research, identifying problem areas, developing effective countermeasures, identifying program and rulemaking needs, developing and evaluating programs, rules, and standards, evaluating new technologies, and providing information to accurately assess and allocate grants for reducing crashes.
CRSS obtains its data from a nationally representative probability sample selected from the estimated 5 to 7 million police-reported crashes that occur annually. By focusing attentionon police-reported crashes, CRSS concentrates on those crashes of greatest concern to the highway safety community and the general public.
Objective:
The objective of this Contract is to provide timely, efficient,and effective support to NHTSA, and its partners, in the data collection effortfor the NHTSA Crash Report Sampling System (CRSS). This Statement of Work describes the responsibilities for the CRSS Sampling Operations Resource Center.
Format of Corporate Capabilities Statement:
Any interested qualified Small Business firms, Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB), 8(a) Certified SDB, HUBZone SB, SDVOSB, or WOSB concerns should submit their Corporate Capability Statement, which demonstrates thefirm's ability and past experience in no more than 10 pages to perform the key requirements described above to the identified NHTSA point of contact listed herein.
Any proprietary information should be marked as such. All respondents are asked to certify the type and size of their business organization is in-line with the requirements of this Sources Sought Notice, and must be received no later than 9 calendar days from the date of publication of this notice.
