Countermeasures That Work (CMTW) and Countermeasures At Work (CMAW) Guide Updates

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) seeks a contractor to update the “Countermeasures That Work” (CMTW) guide to its 13th edition. The effort involves comprehensive literature searches, critical reviews of recent research, synthesis of findings, and incorporation of new or emerging traffic‑safety countermeasures into three to four program‑area chapters each year. Deliverables include draft chapters, user‑opinion letters, a final consolidated Word document, and ongoing coordination with NHTSA staff. The contract is a Cost‑Plus‑Fixed‑Fee (CPFF) award with a performance period of up to 55 months. • Update 12th‑edition CMTW/E‑CMTW with new research (2023‑present) across 11 program areas (e.g., impaired driving, speed management, pedestrian safety). • Conduct an omnibus literature review, followed by targeted reviews for each chapter. • Solicit feedback from up to nine non‑government users and produce opinion‑letter reports. • Draft, revise, and finalize 3‑4 chapters per year; deliver a complete 13th‑edition guide by month 55. • Provide a final electronic Word file with tracked changes and a quality‑controlled final copy.
