About the company
MGA Research Corporation, headquartered in Burlington, Wisconsin, is a for-profit automotive safety testing firm that operates as a prime contractor exclusively to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, conducting full-scale vehicle crash testing, child restraint system evaluation, and Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) compliance assessment. The vendor competes in full-and-open federal procurements without set-aside designation.
NHTSA accounts for 89% of MGA's recent award volume—173 awards with $50.6 million in combined potential value across 201 total awards spanning the past five years. The remaining customer base consists of the Department of Transportation's Immediate Office of the Secretary (three awards, $5.5 million), the Research and Innovative Technology Administration (two awards, $384 thousand), and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Morgantown (one award, $186 thousand). The vendor's 201-award footprint is concentrated in testing laboratory and services work under NAICS 541710, with 160 awards in that category. Recent delivery orders exemplify the scope: a $267,560 delivery order (awarded September 30, 2025, completion March 28, 2027) for full-scale vehicle side impact testing with moving deformable barrier and pole barrier impact evaluation; a $285,760 delivery order (September 29, 2025, completion September 28, 2026) for side impact testing supporting NHTSA's New Car Assessment Program; a $205,587 delivery order (June 26, 2024, completion September 30, 2025) for child restraint system procurement and dynamic testing under FMVSS No. 213; and a $124,865 delivery order (June 1, 2026, completion June 1, 2027) for child restraint systems compliance testing.
MGA holds three single-award indefinite-delivery contracts with NHTSA: one for child restraint systems testing (FMVSS No. 213) with a $4.63 million ceiling and June 7, 2028 completion, a $1.39 million contract for child restraint systems side impact protection pilot testing (FMVSS No. 213A) through September 29, 2028, and a $1.68 million contract for rear impact guard compliance testing (FMVSS No. 223) through May 21, 2028. Task orders under these IDCs form the bulk of MGA's activity, with 21 task orders under Indefinite Delivery Contract DTNH2213D00313 ($2.9 million combined value), 14 under 693JJ919D000006 ($1.5 million), 13 under DTNH2208D00086 ($2.1 million), and multiple others. Work is performed at MGA's Burlington facility with subordinate operations at Akron, New York as required by delivery orders. The vendor reported $25.9 million in combined obligations across its 201-award footprint (43% of combined potential value), indicating $33 million in unobligated ceiling authority. Award activity has fluctuated—four awards in 2022, ten in 2023, five in 2024, two in 2025, and three in 2026 year-to-date—with five awards totaling $767 thousand facing completion in the next twenty-four months. MGA maintains a corporate parent structure with a subsidiary operation registered at Akron, New York, and carries a single documented subcontract role, a 2024 crashworthiness research sub-award under Transportation Research Center Inc. focused on seat back performance evaluation under FMVSS No. 207.
