Full Description

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is an agency of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT). NHTSA's mission is to save lives, prevent injuries and reduce traffic-related health care and other economic costs. The agency develops, promotes, implements, and supports effective educational, engineering and enforcement programs with the goal of ending preventable tragedies and reducing economic costs associated with vehicle use and highway travel. The availability of medical care provided by EMS workers is necessary at all times, day or night. This requirement has led to circumstances where EMS workers across the entire industry are working in sleep deprived and fatigued states - a very dangerous situation. A number of recently published scientific articles have demonstrated that not only is severe fatigue present in around 50% of EMS providers surveyed but that drowsy or fatigued EMS providers are substantially more likely to be injured on the job, commit a medical error, or perform a safety-compromising behavior. In 2013, the National EMS Advisory Council (NEMSAC) issued an advisory proposing that NHTSA explore the issue of fatigue in EMS systems. The following three recommendations were submitted to NHTSA: 1. The NHTSA Office of EMS (OEMS) should cross-validate findings from studies and reports of fatigue in other professions with that of fatigue in EMS. This effort should involve a convening of subject matter experts, individual providers of EMS services, and representatives from local, state, and federal organizations, national organizations (e.g., NAEMT, NAEMSP, and NASEMSO) that play a role in EMS oversight or care delivery. The effort should clarify the evidence linking EMS provider fatigue and safety and health outcomes of patients, providers, and the public. The effort should include an analysis of regulatory requirements of the employer and employee and legal framework with respect to the threat of fatigue on safety. 2. The NHTSA Office of EMS (OEMS) should work through its federal and non-federal partners to address the lack of a standardized method for investigating the role of fatigue in ground and air-medical crashes, clinical errors, and provider injuries. This effort may include developing a valid and reliable measurement tool and check list for investigators. 3. The NHTSA Office of EMS (OEMS) should disseminate (evidence-based) information to the EMS community to aid development of fatigue management programs / interventions to fit local needs. The overall objectives of this contract are to: 1. Bring together a panel of experts to define the specific fatigue related clinical questions and outcomes to be addressed in an Evidence Based Guidelines creation process. Develop Questions and Expected Outcomes 2. Perform a literature review, generate an annotated bibliography, and create evidence tables; 3. Develop evidence based guidelines on fatigue mitigation in EMS; 4. Develop performance measures for tracking the effectiveness of the fatigue EBGs; 5. Produce a final report, a conference presentation, and a manuscript for submission to a peer-reviewed journal; 6. Produce a Publication for EMS Systems and Personnel 7. Optional Task 1: Create a Software/Web Tool to Assist in EMS Workforce Scheduling; 8. Optional Task 2: Develop a Fatigue Reporting Instrument for the EMS Community; 9. Optional Task 3: Disseminate fatigue EBGs to stakeholders. NHTSA seeks a contractor to assist NHTSA in generating and disseminating evidence-based information and tools to the EMS community. These findings and tools will empower the EMS community to develop fatigue management programs at the local level in order to improve ambulance safety on the road as well as for more effective and safer patient care. This acquisition is being offered for full and open competition. The NAICS Code for the anticipated contract is 541720. Contractors must be registered in the Systems for Award Management Database located at http://www.sams.gov, and must complete electronic representations and certification on the ORCA database located at http://orca.bpn.gov to be considered for contract award. It is the Government's intent to award a Time & Material type contract resulting from the solicitation, with or without discussions, to the responsible offeror whose proposal, conforming to the solicitation, is most advantageous to the Government based on the evaluation factors contained in the solicitation. It is the Offeror's responsibility to monitor the FedBizOpps Internet site for the release of the solicitation and amendments (if any). Potential Offerors will be responsible for downloading their own copy of the solicitation and amendments (if any). Requests for paper copies of the RFP will not be accepted. The estimated date for release of the solicitation is on or about April 20, 2015. Period of Performance: Base period of twenty-four (24) months. Contract Award: The anticipated award date for the resultant contract is expected to be on or about July 2015.
