WASHINGTON (NNS) -- Commander, Navy Installations Command (CNIC) and Commandant of the Marine Corps (CMC) awarded a $53-million fleetwide motorcycle and roadway safety instruction contract to Cape Fox Professional Services Sept. 1.

In an effort to improve on the safety of the Navy and Marine Corps personnel, this contract will provide all elements of a global Navy and Marine Corps Traffic Safety and Recreational Off-Duty Safety (TS/RODS) program.

This worldwide contract was coordinated with the Fleet and Industrial Supply Center (FISC) San Diego's contracting team, which was able to award the contract in record time to get this program to the fleet and field as soon as possible.

According to the one-year base contract with four-year option, Cape Fox will create and implement training programs designed to address motorcycle/vehicular accidents and engage in studies that assist the Navy and Marine Corps in improving overall program responsiveness, to include the investigating of new training media and tools to ensure all personnel are aware of the programs and have access to them.

"Cape Fox brings the experience of having implemented and managed the Army Traffic Safety program over the past year. Their program management approach will be utilized to execute the contract by training on a standardized basis across the enterprise," said Capt. Don Smallwood, CNIC N3 Traffic Safety. "Cape Fox in partnership with CNIC Regional Safety offices will administer and monitor the complete traffic safety program."

"CNIC is responsible for the Navy's operational support of the fleet, fighter and family and this program will assist the Navy worldwide by providing the right training for today's Sailors and the lifestyles they employ" said Anne Davis, CNIC Executive Director. "CNIC, working closely with the Naval Safety Center and the Marine Corps, sensed this need and responded quickly to make this happen."

Under the contract's "statement of objectives," Cape Fox is tasked to provide a readily accessible source of robust training programs to include, but not limited to, basic and advanced instruction in motorcycle safety, off-road vehicle safety, and water-craft safety at Navy and Marine Corps Installations worldwide. The contractor must also prove flexible enough to provide training utilizing training motorcycles and, if applicable and practicable, the latest virtual technology to include, but not limited to, realistic simulators.
