New Car Assessment Program (NCAP) Pedestrian Impact Testing
Solicitation # 693JJ926R000073
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is seeking a multiple-award Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contract for pedestrian protection impact testing on production motor vehicles as part of the New Car Assessment Program (NCAP). The selected contractors will perform test-procedure evaluations, impactor qualifications for headforms, Flexible Pedestrian Legform Impactors (Flex-PLI), and upper legforms, as well as actual testing on assigned vehicle models. These services, which may include optional cyclist and aPLI testing, must be conducted at the contractor's off-site facility in Washington, DC, in accordance with the NCAP Crashworthiness Pedestrian Protection Test Procedure. The contract will be structured as a firm-fixed-price agreement with five 12-month ordering periods, including options to extend services for up to six months and options for increased quantities. Award decisions will be based on a best-value tradeoff, where technical factors—including the technical plan, quality assurance management plan, facilities, personnel qualifications, and past performance—are collectively more important than price. This full and open competition falls under NAICS code 541380. The formal request for proposals is expected to be posted on SAM.gov around August 28, 2026, with a submission deadline of September 14, 2026.
