The U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is executing a sole-source bridge contract with American Automotive Safety Research (AASR) to sustain critical injury coding operations for the Crash Investigation Sampling System’s Injury Coding Center (ICC). This action, authorized under 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1) and FAR 6.302-1 due to the absence of alternative responsible sources, is necessary to prevent disruption in the processing of motor vehicle crash injury data while NHTSA completes its competitive follow-on acquisition. The existing contract terminates on June 20, 2026, and the bridge contract will provide continuity through a 12-month base period with an optional 12-month extension. The ICC performs highly specialized medical injury coding using standardized systems such as the Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS) and other NHTSA-approved methodologies, relying on expert analysis of trauma records, diagnostic reports, and clinical data to ensure accurate, consistent, and complete injury classifications submitted to the National Center for Statistics and Analysis. These services are essential to NHTSA’s statutory mandate under 23 U.S.C. §403 to collect and analyze crash data to improve motor vehicle safety nationwide. Only AASR possesses the unique institutional knowledge, established protocols, and technical infrastructure required to perform this mission-critical function without interruption. The procurement is managed by NHTSA’s Office of Acquisition Management in Washington, DC, with primary point of contact Amber Steele and secondary contact Sherese A. Gray, and is classified under NAICS code 541990 for other scientific and technical consulting services.
