About the company
MGA Research Corporation, a for-profit testing services firm headquartered in Troy, Michigan, operates as a prime contractor specializing in Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) compliance testing for the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The vendor competes full-and-open with no set-aside designations across its federal footprint.
NHTSA dominates MGA Research's customer base entirely — 56 of 62 total awards ($18.3 million combined potential value, 94% of all awards) flow from NHTSA, with the Army Materiel Command accounting for the remaining 6 awards ($1 million combined value). MGA Research holds two active NHTSA single-award indefinite delivery contracts: the Multi-Standard Compliance Testing Contract (awarded June 20, 2023, $3.9 million ceiling through May 31, 2029) and the Standards Enforcement Program for FMVSS No. 206 (awarded August 23, 2023, $2.2 million ceiling through August 31, 2028). These two IDIQs anchor the vendor's recent activity — 21 delivery orders across the two vehicles carry $3.3 million in combined potential value. Recent representative work includes a $901,580 delivery order (September 30, 2026) for model year 2027 multi-standard vehicle compliance testing under the primary IDIQ, a $90,987 order (September 28, 2026) for FMVSS No. 206 door lock and retention testing, and a $392,350 delivery order (August 30, 2024) for 2025 model year roof crush resistance and electromagnetic compatibility testing. MGA Research performs all work directly as prime contractor; SCI data shows zero subcontractor engagement across all reportable records.
Award activity has remained volatile over the past five years — three awards in 2022, five in 2023, three in 2024, one in 2025, and three through September 2026 — with only two awards ($993 thousand combined potential value) reaching ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, limiting near-term recompete exposure. SCI-reportable invoicing across service contracts above the $150,000 threshold totaled $1.1 million (FY2023–FY2025), with $545 thousand invoiced in FY2024 and $588 thousand in FY2025; the SCI dataset captures a portion of the vendor's federal services contracting and excludes goods, micro-purchases, and non-federal revenue. The vendor's capability portfolio centers on crashworthiness testing (FMVSS 208, 212, 219, 301, 305), door lock and retention components (FMVSS 206), roof crush resistance (FMVSS 216A), upper interior head protection (FMVSS 201U), and electromagnetic compatibility (FMVSS 226), with work performed at facilities in Troy, Michigan and Washington, DC.
