About this opportunity
The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) is seeking to procure advanced crash analysis technical support services for the Roadside Safety Research and Federal Outdoor Impact Laboratory (FOIL) through a competitive solicitation. The contractor will provide technical crash analysis and transportation engineering research support services to FHWA's Office of Safety, Research and Development at the Turner-Fairbank Highway Research Center. Key requirements include conducting fundamental and applied research for FHWA, NHTSA, Department of State, and other government agencies, developing finite element models and crash simulations, analyzing various vehicle types and roadway conditions, and supporting field tests and product engineering activities. The contractor must also provide technical advice and recommendations on deployment, logistical, and administrative issues related to safety hardware design concepts. This pre-solicitation notice was posted on September 2, 2025, with a 15-day notification period ending September 17, 2025, after which the full solicitation will be released.
This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations and will result in a single award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract.
