SECTION C DESCRIPTION/SPECS./WORK STATEMENT

C.1 BACKGROUND

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is an integral part of the United States Department of Transportation (DOT) and its mission is to save lives, prevent injuries, and reduce health care and other economic costs associated with motor vehicle crashes. As part of its mission to reduce fatalities and injuries caused by motor vehicle crashes, the NHTSA promulgates Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS). Manufacturers of motor vehicles and items of motor vehicle equipment are required to certify that each product they sell in the United States meets the requirements of all applicable safety standards. NHTSA’s Office of Vehicle Safety Compliance (OVSC) is charged with determining whether manufacturers meet all applicable safety standards. This contract effort will enable the agency to meet its mission by assuring that motor vehicles meet the requirements of the safety standards.

C.2 PURPOSE

The Contractor shall furnish qualified technical personnel, facilities and equipment to perform inspection and compliance testing services to determine conformance of motor vehicles to the requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS). At the time of award the contractor must have all necessary personnel, facilities and equipment. The Contractor shall perform and complete testing and associated inspections within the time specified in the Delivery Schedule, Section F, and shall submit deliverables as required by the Schedule.

C.3 KICK OFF MEETING

Within two weeks of the effective date of the contract award, the contractor shall participate in an initial project meeting with the COTR, other NHTSA staff and the Contracting Officer (CO).

The Kickoff meeting may take place via teleconference. The contractor will make a brief presentation of their understanding of the contract requirements, C.4 SPECIFIC CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS

The following specific contract requirements of this solicitation supersede all similar sections in applicable Office of Vehicle Safety Compliance Laboratory Test Procedures (TPs) incorporated by reference in Section J (Laboratory Test Procedures).

C.4.1 Test Procedures

The Contractor shall perform all applicable work in accordance with the testing requirements of the FMVSS, FMVR, and the applicable OVSC Test Procedures (TPs).

The list of applicable TPs is located in Section J and each TP is incorporated into this contract. If there is a conflict between the OVSC TPs and the requirements of the contract, the contract shall prevail.

Detailed “in-house” check-off-sheet style test procedures created by the Contractor will be referred to hereinafter as “Contractor Test Procedures.” Contractor Test Procedures are subject to the Contracting Officer’s Technical Representative (COTR) approval.

In addition to meeting the requirements of the Test Procedure, the Contractor shall follow its internal Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) management plans addressed in Section F.4 of this contract.

C.4.2 Test Vehicles

The Government will provide the contractor with test vehicles for all destructive testing.

For most of the non-destructive testing, the Government will provide test vehicles. In certain instances, at the option of the Government, the Contractor shall acquire leased test vehicles. The Contractor shall inspect GFP vehicles for condition and completeness immediately upon delivery at the Contractor’s point of receipt. The Contractor shall be responsible for the storage and security of all vehicles from receipt until sale or transfer from its facility.

The Contractor has the responsibility of accepting test vehicles from new dealers/distributors or transporters. In both instances, the Contractor acts in the OVSC's behalf when signing an acceptance of test vehicles. If a vehicle is delivered by a dealer/distributor, the Contractor must check to verify the following:

A. Tires and wheel rims are new.

B. There are no dents or other interior or exterior flaws in the vehicle body.

The tested vehicles shall be protected from the elements and retained by the Contractor for a minimum of 60 days following a test, so that NHTSA personnel may inspect, if necessary.

GFP vehicle(s) shall not be driven by the Contractor on public roadways.

C.4.3 Measurement and Test Equipment

NOTE: In the event of a test failure to meet the standard's minimum performance requirements, as outlined in each TP found under Section J (List of Attachments) NHTSA may require additional calibration checks of critically sensitive test equipment and instrumentation to verify accuracy. The necessity for the calibration will be at the COTR's discretion and shall be performed without additional cost.

The Contractor shall make all vehicle preliminary compliance test data available to the COTR within four hours after the test. Final test data, including digital printouts and computer generated plots, shall be furnished to the COTR within five (5) working days of test completion. Additionally, the Contractor shall analyze the preliminary test results as directed by the COTR in the event of a test anomaly.

All backup data sheets, recordings, plots, technicians’ notes, etc., shall be either sent to the COTR or destroyed at the conclusion of each delivery order as directed by the COTR.

The Contractor shall protect and segregate the data that evolves from compliance testing before and after each vehicle test.

C.4.3.1 Free Motion Headforms and Calibration (201U only)

The Contractor shall provide calibrated Free Motion Headforms (49 CFR Part 572L) in the following manner:

Test vehicles that have met compliance requirements (passed) and also any untested test vehicles, shall be stored by the Contractor at no additional cost, until receipt of disposition instructions from the Government. (Refer to Section H.14.)

Test vehicles that have not met compliance requirements (failed) shall be stored by the Contractor at no additional cost to the Government at most until the end of the contract term.

C.4.6 Test Schedule

The Contractor shall submit a test schedule to the COTR prior to testing. Tests shall be completed as required in the contract. [Scheduling shall be adjusted to permit motor vehicles to be tested to other FMVSS as may be required by the OVSC.] All testing shall be coordinated to allow monitoring by the COTR.
