About this IDV

Written by GovTribe AI ·

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration awarded an indefinite-delivery contract to Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University on April 1, 2021, with a ceiling value of $110 million and an ultimate completion date of March 30, 2027. This is a single-award, no-set-aside vehicle supporting research, development, and evaluation of vehicle electronic systems safety across multiple technical domains.

Work is performed at Virginia Tech's primary campus in Blacksburg, Virginia, with subordinate performance in Washington, DC and at field research locations as needed. The originating solicitation (Solicitation No. 693JJ9-20-R-000020) requested vehicle electronic systems safety research spanning advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), automated driving systems (ADS), cybersecurity evaluation, perception system development and testing, sensor research, battery management systems security, non-pneumatic tire performance, and related vehicle safety innovations.

The contract's base period extends through March 30, 2027. Recent task order activity under this IDIQ reflects sustained demand from NHTSA for specialized vehicle safety research. Notable orders issued since 2021 include a $8.3 million cost-plus-no-fee delivery order (September 2022) for field data collection with consumer-available driver support systems and zero trust cybersecurity examination; a $1.8 million cost-plus-fixed-fee order (September 2023) for non-black-box test methods assessing vulnerable road user test targets; a $1.2 million cost-no-fee order (September 2023) for comprehensive ADAS/ADS failure research; and a $1.1 million firm-fixed-price order (October 2024) for verification and validation approaches to automated driving systems simulation models. A May 2025 delivery order valued at $446,016 addresses evaluation of offensive cybersecurity models for automotive domain security. Virginia Tech self-performs the majority of work; subcontractors on recent orders include Southwest Research Institute, VTT LLC (Global Center for Automotive Performance Simulation), and specialized technical firms supporting simulation, testing, and research services.
