Summary
Requires contractor support to operate and maintain the Quality Control Center (QCC) for the Crash Investigation Sampling System (CISS), a core component of the Agency’s crash data collection program. The QCC serves as the independent technical authority responsible for ensuring the accuracy, consistency, and methodological integrity of crash data collected through the nationwide network of Primary Sampling Units (PSUs). CISS provides nationally representative, real-world crash data used to support safety research, policy development, rulemaking, and evaluation of emerging technologies. This requirement supports the continued validation, standardization, and quality assurance of crash investigation data to ensure that the CISS dataset remains accurate, consistent, and reliable for national use.
