What the notice says
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is committed to saving lives, preventing injuries, and reducing traffic-related health care and economic costs. As part of that mission, the Office of Vehicle Safety Research (OVSR) supports a robust scientific research program to provide the technical foundation for NHTSA�s vehicle and traffic safety initiatives. This procurement seeks to establish an Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to support NHTSA�s Experimental and Mathematical Biomechanics Injury Research (EMBIR) program. The IDIQ will enable the issuance … (show all)
of Task Orders (TOs) that require a broad range of specialized research, analysis, and technical support services related to human injury mechanisms and prevention in motor vehicle crashes. The contractor shall provide services across the following four research domains: Experimental Biomechanics: Conduct physical testing to evaluate human injury tolerance under crashrelevant loading conditions and identify the mechanisms and thresholds for injury. 1.Anthropomorphic Test Device (ATD) Support: Provide technical expertise to develop and assess ATDs, ensuring biofidelity, durability, and measurement accuracy. 2.Computational Modeling: Develop and utilize advanced computational models (e.g., finite element models of the human body and ATDs) to simulate crash scenarios, validate injury mechanisms, and support virtual testing environments. 3.Crash and Injury Data Analysis: Analyze real-world crash data, ATD testing, and experimental research to support injury criteria development, identify emerging crash trends, and enhance vehicle safety metrics. Data science tools such as AI/machine learning may be applied to enhance insights from large-scale datasets.

Value counts new single-winner awards. "Shared" awards are multiple-award contracts that list every winner with the same total ceiling (same contract, or the same office, day and amount); that ceiling is not one company's win, so it is not added in. Contract modifications are not new awards and are not added in either. Revenue next to a ticker is the company's revenue over the latest 12 months in its SEC filings.
