Law Enforcement and Public Safety Initiatives

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is planning a sole-source, non-competitive contract award to The National Law Enforcement Memorial Fund for a twelve-month period to support officer safety initiatives aimed at reducing line-of-duty deaths, particularly those caused by traffic-related incidents. This effort builds on the partnership between the Memorial Fund and Below 100 to promote the Five Tenets of officer safety and to achieve the goal of lowering annual traffic fatalities among law enforcement officers to fewer than 100, a level not seen since 1943. The contract will focus on collecting and analyzing data on officer fatalities, developing and distributing educational materials, and producing communications content including email blasts, newsletters, podcasts, graphics, and short videos to reinforce safe practices. It will also involve managing a social media presence to raise public awareness of dangers such as the “Move Over” laws and conducting quarterly webinars for law enforcement professionals. Additional deliverables include designing training programs and support resources for the families of officers killed in traffic-related incidents and providing technical assistance to federal, state, tribal, municipal, county, and university law enforcement agencies. The work will be performed in Washington, D.C., and is anticipated to be executed under a firm fixed-price contract structure. The acquisition is being conducted as a sources-sought notice with a deadline for responses on June 4, 2026, and while the government is inviting submissions from qualified entities, it has explicitly indicated its intent to award the contract exclusively to the National Law Enforcement Memorial Fund due to its unique qualifications and existing partnership. Responses must include detailed corporate capability statements that demonstrate the ability to meet all stated objectives, though no formal evaluation will be conducted beyond determining whether the information received supports the government’s decision to proceed with sole-source procurement. The notice clarifies that this is not a request for proposals, no contract will be awarded based on these responses, and no payment will be made for the preparation or submission of information.
