SHRP2 Safety Data to Support Highway Safety

The Federal Highway Administration awarded the SHRP2 Safety Data to Support Highway Safety Master IDIQ on November 18, 2015, with a shared ceiling of $19 million and a last date to order of November 17, 2020—now closed for more than five years. The vehicle funds highway safety research centered on analysis of SHRP2 Naturalistic Driving Study and Road Inventory Data to support FHWA's Office of Safety Research and Development.

The vehicle is no longer active. Ordering closed in November 2020, and the most recent task order was awarded in July 2020. All 61 awarded task orders have completed performance, with combined potential value of $18.2 million and $16.6 million already obligated (91% of combined potential). Activity peaked early: 24 orders in 2016 and 17 each in 2017 and 2018, then dropped to 2 in 2019 and 1 in 2020, reflecting the vehicle's planned wind-down.

Awarded work spans safety analysis, data management, training development, and technical assistance. Representative orders include pedestrian and bicyclist technical assistance, roadway data governance and management, safety performance target setting, railroad-highway crossing biennial reports, roundabout advancement, speed management planning, human factors guides, and USLIMITS2 program support. Task order values ranged from under $60 thousand to $1.26 million, with durations typically 8 to 16 months.

Vanasse Hangen Brustlin, Inc. dominates the vehicle, holding 30 of 61 orders totaling $10.1 million in combined potential value. Leidos, Inc. earned 14 orders for $3.3 million, and Texas A&M Transportation Institute received 11 orders for $3.8 million. KLS Engineering and Ch2M Hill captured the remaining four and two orders respectively. All 61 task orders were awarded on an unrestricted (non-set-aside) basis. FHWA alone placed all orders across the vehicle's life.

This vehicle offers no pursue opportunity: ordering closed in 2020, all work has completed, and no successor vehicle is indicated in the source material.

The Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA) Office of Safety Research and Development helps to reduce highway crashes and related fatalities and injuries by developing and implementing safety innovations in a nationally coordinated safety research and development program. A Naturalistic Driving Study (NDS) was conducted as part of the second Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP2). The FHWA has a requirement for research that improves highway safety through analysis of the SHRP2 safety data. This Master IDIQ intends to fund research with a primary focus on the SHRP2 NDS and RID data in support of the vision and goals of the FHWA Office of Safety R&D.
