About this opportunity
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is seeking to procure sixty-four (64) 16-inch size P225/60R16 radial ply treadwear course monitoring tires that meet the ASTM F2493 Standard Reference Test Tires (SRTT) specification for use in the Uniform Tire Quality Grading System (UTQGS) testing program at the San Angelo Test Facility located on Goodfellow Air Force Base in San Angelo, Texas. NHTSA has indicated its intent to award this contract on a sole-source, non-competitive basis from Michelin, as these specific tires are available exclusively from that manufacturer; however, the agency welcomes responses from qualified Small Business concerns demonstrating their capability to supply these items. Respondents must submit Corporate Capability Statements that provide detailed information addressing their specific capabilities and ability to provide the requested tires. It is important to note that NHTSA will not formally evaluate responses to this Pre-solicitation notice, will not pay for the preparation of submitted information, and may or may not issue a subsequent Request for Proposals (RFP) based on the responses received. The response deadline is February 22, 2026, which is ten days from the posting date of February 12, 2026, with the contracting officer Vincent Lynch at (202) 366-9568 available for inquiries.
This procurement carries no Small Business set-aside designation. Michelin is identified as the sole-source supplier for these ASTM F2493 Standard Reference Test Tires in the P225/60R16 size. The contract will be structured as a Firm Fixed-Price award with a twelve-month base period of performance, during which the tires will be delivered in four quarterly shipments of 16 tires each. No specific contract value or budget range has been disclosed in this Pre-solicitation notice. The opportunity is categorized under NAICS Code 326211 (Tire Manufacturing except Retreading) and PSC Code 2610 (Tires and Tubes, Pneumatic, Except Aircraft), making it applicable to firms engaged in tire manufacturing and distribution within these classifications.
