Alpha Technology Associate Inc.

Alpha Technology Associate Inc., a minority-owned, woman-owned small disadvantaged business based in Fairfax, Virginia, provides vehicle purchasing, leasing, test coordination, and engineering support services exclusively to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration as a prime contractor on full-and-open (non-set-aside) delivery orders and indefinite delivery contracts. The company competes without set-aside protections and operates entirely as a prime across its federal footprint — 193 awards totaling $267.6 million in combined potential value, 100% prime work with zero subcontract activity.

Alpha's customer concentration is absolute: the Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration accounts for 186 of 193 awards (96% of award count) and $264.9 million of the $267.6 million combined potential value (99% of dollars). This extreme single-customer dependency reflects Alpha's role as NHTSA's primary vehicle acquisition and testing coordination contractor for automotive safety research. Work spans the New Car Assessment Program (NCAP) testing, Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) compliance testing, crash test coordination at contract laboratories, electric vehicle safety research, pedestrian safety technology investigations, occupant protection system modeling, and specialized projects such as the Limousine Crashworthiness Project. Representative recent awards include a $4.2 million delivery order (September 2026) for comprehensive NCAP testing and vehicle test coordination, a $4.16 million task order (September 2024) for MY 2025 NCAP testing coordination, and a $2.52 million order (September 2025) for MY 2026 NCAP vehicle purchasing and test coordination.

Alpha holds five active indefinite delivery contracts with NHTSA. The largest, Indefinite Delivery Contract DTNH2213D00311, carries a $68.4 million combined potential value across 95 task orders. Three additional primary IDCs (DTNH2208D00084 with $21.7 million across 32 task orders; 693JJ924D000012 with $16.1 million across 13 task orders; and DTNH2208D00088 with $10.5 million across 13 task orders) anchor the bulk of ongoing delivery order activity, along with a newer bridge contract IDC 693JJ925D000015 for $9.97 million issued September 2025. A third mature IDC, 693JJ922D000033 with $17.85 million potential value, continues to generate task orders. The three oldest standing contracts have combined potential values exceeding $45.8 million and reflect Alpha's incumbent status as NHTSA's vehicle purchasing and testing coordination provider since 2004.

Activity has remained relatively steady across the past five years — eight awards in 2022, ten in 2023, twelve in 2024, seven in 2025, and two in 2026 — with only $5.9 million in combined potential value reaching ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months. This modest near-term recompete exposure reflects the long-tail completion dates of large delivery orders and the flexibility NHTSA builds into its IDC structure. Across the award portfolio, work is performed primarily at Alpha's Fairfax, Virginia facility and at NHTSA's Washington, DC headquarters. The company's capability footprint centers entirely on vehicle procurement logistics, test vehicle acquisition, crash testing coordination, safety engineering support, and compliance documentation — a specialized, technically narrow practice focused on enabling NHTSA's automotive safety mission rather than general IT, engineering services, or professional services work. The dominant NAICS categories are Engineering Services (118 awards), New Car Dealers (39 awards), and All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services (33 awards); primary PSC codes are Transportation R&D Services, Aerospace Research, and Basic Research (96 awards) and Passenger Motor Vehicles (35 awards).

Service Contract Inventory data shows minimal SCI-reportable prime revenue: $152 thousand invoiced across FY2023 only, reflecting 1.0 FTE. This sparse SCI footprint signals that Alpha's federal work is almost entirely goods procurement and delivery-order delivery of tangible vehicles and vehicle-related support services — not billable labor hours captured in SCI. Government-paid hourly rates on the limited SCI-reportable hours ranged from approximately $67.84/hr to $72.87/hr (median $67.84/hr). The company carries zero subcontractor engagement on SCI records, consistent with its 100% prime posture across the broader award portfolio.
