About this IDV

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) awarded a single-award Indefinite Delivery Vehicle contract to Transportation Research Center Inc. (TRC Inc.), a non-profit vehicle research organization based in East Liberty, Ohio, on September 24, 2020. The contract, with a ceiling value of $3,125,753 and an ultimate completion date of March 29, 2028, was established to procure full-scale vehicle side impact testing services in support of NHTSA's New Car Assessment Program (NCAP). The scope encompasses full-scale vehicle side impact testing utilizing moving deformable barriers, pole barrier impact testing, and side air bag out-of-position effectiveness evaluation. These services support NHTSA's mission to develop vehicle safety ratings and establish Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards compliance assessments. The contract was awarded without a socioeconomic set-aside designation, reflecting TRC Inc.'s specialized technical capabilities and access to world-class testing facilities. Performance is being conducted at TRC Inc.'s facility in East Liberty, Ohio, with one delivery order executed at the NHTSA facility in Washington, DC.

Under this IDV contract, NHTSA has issued six delivery orders between September 2020 and September 2024, collectively valued at $1,086,423. These task orders include testing for model year 2021, 2022, and 2025 vehicles, with individual delivery order values ranging from $155,452 to $214,955 on a firm fixed-price basis. The original pre-solicitation notice was posted on July 1, 2019, with a due date of May 18, 2020, reflecting NHTSA's procurement planning for competitive contracts to support expanded NCAP testing requirements. Each delivery order carries completion dates aligned with annual model year testing cycles, enabling NHTSA to systematically evaluate vehicle crashworthiness and occupant protection system performance across successive model years. The contract structure allows NHTSA flexibility to issue additional task orders through the contract's ultimate completion date while leveraging TRC Inc.'s established testing infrastructure and expertise.
