About this opportunity
The U.S. Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has issued a Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice for a bridge contract to support the Special Crash Investigation (SCI) Program in the Eastern Region of the United States. The contract, awarded to Crash Research and Analysis, Inc. (CRA), will provide comprehensive crash investigation services including conducting approximately 70 crash investigations annually, collecting and analyzing detailed crash-related data, and preparing written investigation reports to support NHTSA's traffic safety research and Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards development. The sole source justification is based on CRA's unique qualifications, including over 25 years of specialized expertise in motor vehicle crash investigations and proprietary data systems that are critical to maintaining uninterrupted mission-critical SCI operations while NHTSA completes a competitive acquisition process for the follow-on requirement. The contract has an estimated total value of $1,961,410.35 and includes a 12-month base period with one 12-month option period. This bridge contract is necessary because the current contract expired on August 11, 2025, and ensures continuity of services that support NHTSA's statutory responsibilities under federal traffic safety laws.
