The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Behavioral Traffic Research Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle supports comprehensive behavioral safety research focused on understanding and improving traffic safety through data collection, analysis, literature reviews, survey research, and technical assistance. The master contract enables NHTSA to quickly procure specialized research services related to human behaviors, driving patterns, traffic safety interventions, and emerging transportation safety challenges. Contract task orders span a wide range of topics including driver attitudes, impaired driving, pedestrian and bicycle safety, speeding behaviors, and technological impacts on transportation safety.

Task orders under this IDIQ consistently range from approximately $100,000 to $1.1 million, with performance periods typically spanning 12-36 months. Frequently awarded prime contractors include Dunlap and Associates, Toxcel LLC, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Battelle Memorial Institute, and Westat Inc. The majority of task orders are competitively awarded under cost-plus-fixed-fee or time-and-materials pricing structures, with no specific small business set-aside designations consistently applied. Common research methodologies include systematic literature reviews, survey research, data collection and analysis, pilot studies, and stakeholder engagement. Performance locations are predominantly in the contractors' home states, including Virginia, Connecticut, North Carolina, and Maryland, with work primarily conducted to support NHTSA's Behavioral Safety Research for Traffic Safety program.
