This opportunity had originally been synopsized under RFP DTNH22-12-R-00531. Under that synopsis, NHTSA had planned to use a "Cascading" approach to contractor selection (where small businesses would be considered for award first, then (in the event no small business was selected) large businesses would be considered. That has now been changed to where this requirement is set-aside, 100%, for small businesses.
