Humanetics Innovative Solutions, Inc.

Humanetics Innovative Solutions, Inc., doing business as First Technology Safety System, manufactures anthropomorphic test devices (crash test dummies), precision instrumentation, sensors, and calibration services for federal safety research and defense applications, competing as a prime contractor on full and open basis across 397 awards totaling $176.5 million in combined potential value. The for-profit Michigan-based manufacturer holds no SBA set-aside designations and operates from headquarters in Farmington Hills, Michigan with secondary operations in Oklahoma City and East Liberty, Ohio.

Customer concentration is acute and skewed toward civilian transportation safety. The Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration dominates the footprint with 174 awards ($94.5 million, 54% of combined potential value), anchoring demand for THOR and Hybrid III crash test dummies, pedestrian legform impactors, and spare parts under the DML IDIQ program and related delivery orders. The Department of the Army Test and Evaluation Command ranks second with 76 awards ($35 million, 20% of combined potential value), followed by the Army Materiel Command Research Development and Engineering Command (18 awards, $14.7 million) and the Army Materiel Command TACOM Life Cycle Management Command (30 awards, $4.9 million). Together, the top five customers account for 82% of award count and 89% of potential value, with NHTSA and Army Test and Evaluation Command alone representing roughly 74% of dollars.

Humanetics holds four primary indefinite delivery vehicles. The largest vehicle by task-order volume is NHTSA's IDC DTNH2213D00301 (76 task orders, $15.4 million combined potential value) and IDC DTNH2207D00070 (53 task orders, $3.9 million), both supporting crash test dummy procurement, parts, and calibration services. The Army Test and Evaluation Command IDC W91ZLK16D0001 has generated 27 task orders ($1.8 million), with a second Army IDIQ W91ZLK11D0007 carrying 25 task orders ($5.3 million). NHTSA's DML IDIQ - HUMANETICS vehicle, cited across multiple delivery orders in the award listing, carries 21 task orders valued at $20.7 million and functions as the workhorse for NHTSA's Dummy Measurement Laboratory operations. A recent single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with Franchise Acquisition Services (August 2024, $3.6 million ceiling, September 2029 completion) authorizes ATDs, sensors, spare parts, and calibration services performed in Oklahoma City; three delivery orders totaling $1.92 million have issued through March 2026. A second single-award BPA with Air Force Air Combat Command (April 2022, $156,310 ceiling, April 2027 completion) procures 846TS sensor calibration services at Farmington Hills, with seven task orders totaling $38,551 issued through August 2025.

Representative prime awards cluster around ATD procurement and support. NHTSA awarded a $3.7 million delivery order (September 2021) for four THOR 5th generation dummies and spare parts; a $3.3 million sole-source delivery order (September 2022) for Advanced 5th Female ATD Revisions with completion through January 2026; a $3.1 million delivery order (September 2024) for THOR-50M dummies; and a $1.8 million delivery order (September 2025) for "DML 2025 MEGA PARTS ORDER." The Air Force Air Materiel Command awarded a $6.5 million contract (September 2024) for 14 JPATS-configured Hybrid III ATD-4 units to Holloman Air Force Base and Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, scheduled completion October 2025. TACOM awarded a $1.98 million single-award IDC (June 2023 through July 2028) for ATD procurement, measurement components, maintenance, calibration, and repair services at Farmington Hills. The Army Test and Evaluation Command holds a $3.51 million single-award IDC (August 2022 through August 2025) for ATD parts, replacement components, and calibration services, with three task orders through May 2025 totaling $75,313. NHTSA's $24 million IDIQ contract (cited in multiple award summaries as DML IDIQ - HUMANETICS) anchors ongoing procurement of ATDs, instrumentation, data acquisition systems, and calibration services.

Activity has remained flat to modestly positive in recent years, with 13 awards in 2022, 11 in 2023, 11 in 2024, and 13 in 2025; only one award appears in the 2026 data window (through March), consistent with a typical Q1-Q2 procurement cycle. Recompete exposure in the next twenty-four months stands at four awards valued at $5.9 million combined potential value, a low absolute figure relative to the total portfolio but concentrated risk if material vehicles renew competitively. Humanetics holds 396 prime awards (100% of the portfolio) with a single subcontract sub-award to Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory on a Department of the Army RDT&E effort for PEO Soldier materials (August 2024), confirming near-exclusive operation as a prime.

The vendor's NAICS profile reflects specialized equipment manufacturing — top codes include Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing (126 awards), Instrument Manufacturing for Measuring and Testing Electricity and Electrical Signals (92 awards), and Instruments and Related Products Manufacturing for Measuring, Displaying, and Controlling Industrial Process Variables (54 awards). Top PSC codes center on Laboratory Equipment and Supplies (145 awards) and Combination and Miscellaneous Instruments (60 awards), with secondary coding for Physical Properties Testing and Inspection (27 awards) and maintenance/repair/rebuild services (23 awards). This category concentration — heavily weighted to test equipment and instrumentation — aligns with Humanetics' core competency as a single-source supplier of crash test dummies and related precision calibration services to federal agencies with no viable alternative vendors for many specialized ATD configurations.
