About the company
Applus Idiada Karco Engineering, LLC, a foreign-owned for-profit corporation, provides full-scale vehicle safety testing and crash evaluation services to the federal government exclusively as a prime contractor on competitive task orders, with no subcontract or grant activity in its federal footprint. The company operates from facilities in Adelanto, California and performs specialized automotive safety compliance work under multiple single-award indefinite delivery contracts with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
Applus Idiada Karco's customer concentration is extreme and stable. The Department of Transportation's NHTSA accounts for 161 of 192 awards (86% of award count and 86% of $85.8 million combined potential value across all federal work). The Department of Transportation's Immediate Office of the Secretary and the Army Materiel Command's Picatinny Arsenal round out the customer set with two awards each, but represent only $7.5 million of the remaining potential value. This is a single-customer vendor by any practical measure.
The vendor's concrete capability portfolio centers on New Car Assessment Program (NCAP) testing protocols and Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) compliance evaluation. Work spans frontal rigid barrier impact testing, side impact moving deformable barrier and pole barrier testing, dynamic rollover assessment, airbag out-of-position testing, crash avoidance advanced technology evaluation (including Advanced Driver Assistance Systems), THOR biofidelic crash test device operation for occupant protection evaluation, and school bus and rear impact guard compliance testing. Representative recent task orders include a $1.092 million firm fixed-price delivery order for NCAP crash avoidance advanced technology testing (September 2025), a $414,515 order for MY26/27 NCAP dynamic rollover testing (September 2025), a $369,298 order for THOR crash testing supporting FMVSS 208 evaluation (August 2025), and a $51,470 order for seat research data collection supporting FMVSS standards (September 2025). Performance locations include Adelanto, California; Alpaugh, California; and Washington, DC.
The vendor holds five active single-award IDIQs with NHTSA. The largest, valued at $10.6 million with ultimate completion September 15, 2027, covers NCAP crash avoidance advanced technology testing and ADAS evaluation. A $4.5 million contract running through March 31, 2027, supports THOR crash testing for FMVSS 208 evaluation at Washington, DC. A $2.08 million contract through May 21, 2028, covers rear impact guard compliance testing (FMVSS 223) at Adelanto. A $750,500 contract through April 16, 2028, covers multi-standard compliance testing across both Adelanto and Alpaugh facilities. A fifth legacy contract under the Multi-Standard Compliance Testing Program 2016-2021 remains active. Task-order activity clustered under the five largest parent vehicles totals roughly $10 million in combined potential value.
Activity has declined year over year—eight awards in 2022, nine in 2023, six in 2024, four in 2025, and one in 2026 (through early July). Ten awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $2.8 million, representing the recompete cycle for ongoing task-order work. The vendor competes exclusively on full-and-open (non-set-aside) basis across its entire footprint. It owns no GWACs, BPAs, or GSA vehicles and operates no subcontract relationships; all 192 awards are prime contracts or task orders under NHTSA's single-award IDIQs.
