About this IDV

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) awarded a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) valued at $2.8 million to Calspan, LLC (doing business as Calspan Test Services) on May 7, 2019, with an ultimate completion date of May 6, 2026. The contract scope encompasses full-scale vehicle frontal rigid barrier impact testing and side airbag out-of-position testing services to support NHTSA's New Car Assessment Program (NCAP). The original solicitation, issued by NHTSA's NCAP Division, sought competitive contracts for these specialized testing services beginning March 1, 2018, replacing expiring agreements that had been extended through January and February 2018. The contract was structured as a new competitive Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) vehicle with an initial five-year base award period and preliminary estimated total cost of $8.56 million across the full term ($1.64 million for the first year). Lawrence Valvo serves as the Contracting Officer's Representative with Taryn Rockwell as alternate COR. No small business set-aside was utilized for this procurement.

Calspan, a Buffalo, New York-based for-profit limited liability company founded in 1943, performs the contracted vehicle safety testing services at its facilities in Cheektowaga, New York and Washington, DC. The company specializes in advanced testing and technology development for the aerospace, defense, and automotive industries, and brings extensive expertise in crash testing and vehicle safety evaluations to this engagement. Under this IDC, NHTSA has issued multiple delivery orders spanning from 2019 through 2025, with individual task order values ranging from approximately $12,772 to $305,625. These delivery orders support the administration's mission to evaluate and communicate vehicle crashworthiness performance to consumers through standardized testing protocols, directly informing the safety ratings and manufacturer compliance standards that guide public vehicle purchasing decisions. The firm fixed-price delivery orders require Calspan to conduct rigorous frontal barrier impact testing and side airbag out-of-position testing across multiple model years, with work continuing through September 2026.
