About this forecast

The Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is procuring finite element modeling research and development services under a multiple award IDIQ contract to support vehicle safety research and crash simulation testing aimed at reducing deaths and injuries on American roadways. The work encompasses full vehicle laser scanning and teardown, material testing to characterize vehicle material behavior under impact conditions, mesh development, and part integration to create full vehicle and vehicle component finite element models. Solicitation release is estimated for November 1, 2026.

The contract vehicle carries an estimated award value between $5 million and $9.9 million and is competed as full and open to all qualified contractors under NAICS 541380 (Testing Laboratories and Services). Performance occurs in Washington, DC. Current contractors holding existing task orders under related vehicle numbers include University of Virginia, George Mason University, Medical College of Wisconsin, Elemance LLC, and EDAG Inc. Inquiries should be directed to Berkan Guleyupoglu at berkan.guleyupoglu@dot.gov.

Forecast text

The research objective is to provide research data so that NHTSA can achieve its mission of reducing death and injuries on American roadways using crash simulations of vehicle safety research tests to predict the impact of potential safety implications.  These efforts will include full vehicle laser scanning and tear down for the development of new finite element models, material testing to define the behavior of vehicle materials under impact conditions, mesh development, and part integration to develop full vehicle and vehicle component finite element models.
