About Ricardo LLC
Ricardo LLC, a foreign-owned global automotive and transportation engineering consultancy headquartered in Van Buren Township, Michigan, operates as a prime contractor providing cost, weight, and lead-time analysis of vehicle systems and components to federal agencies on full-and-open competitive procurements with no set-aside designations. The vendor competes exclusively as a prime (100% of recent awards), with a highly concentrated customer base anchored by the Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), which accounts for 77% of award count but only 11.5 million dollars of a $5.35 billion combined potential-value portfolio — a sharp divergence driven by two outlier Navy awards totaling $5.28 billion in combined potential value.
Ricardo's core capability is automotive engineering analysis across vehicle safety systems. The vendor holds a $1.7 million single-award NHTSA IDIQ (693JJ922D000006) and a companion IDIQ (DTNH2216D00037) that together underpin the bulk of its recent NHTSA transactional work. Representative NHTSA delivery orders include a $318,675 task order issued May 2026 for cost, weight, and lead-time analysis of electronic control units in passenger vehicles, a $324,682 order from October 2025 for lane-keeping-assist-system analysis, and a $367,658 task order from November 2023 for sunroof cost and weight analysis in light vehicles. Across the two IDIQs, Ricardo places 21 task orders carrying $5 million in combined potential value. The vendor also received a $6.25 million Cooperative Agreement from the Department of Energy's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy in August 2024 to develop a 3-in-1 inverter, on-board charger, and auxiliary DC converter for electrified heavy-duty truck applications.
Beyond the NHTSA customer concentration, Ricardo holds two Navy Naval Sea Systems Command awards valued at $5.28 billion combined (2% of recent award count but 99% of dollar value), three Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency awards worth $50.4 million, and two Navy Secretary of the Navy Office of Naval Research awards totaling $6.5 million. Department of the Army Materiel Command and Federal Railroad Administration round out the active customer set. Activity has flattened in recent years — two awards in 2022, three in 2023, two in 2024, one in 2025, and one in 2026 — with only $643 thousand in combined potential value reaching ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal recompete exposure. Ricardo's award portfolio concentrates on testing laboratories and services (31 awards), engineering services (9 awards), and R&D in physical, engineering, and life sciences (8 awards) across equipment-testing PSCs that reflect the vendor's vehicular-systems-analysis focus.
