The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is an operating administration of the United States Department of Transportation (DOT). NHTSA’s mission is to save lives, prevent injuries and reduce traffic-related health care and other economic costs associated with motor vehicle crashes. As part of its mission to reduce fatalities and injuries caused by motor vehicle crashes, NHTSA promulgates Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS). Manufacturers of motor vehicles and items of motor vehicle equipment are required to certify that each product they sell in the United States meets the requirements of all applicable safety standards. NHTSA’s Office of Vehicle Safety Compliance (OVSC) tests new motor vehicles and regulated motor vehicle equipment to the applicable FMVSS. This contract effort will enable the agency to meet its mission by identifying tires that may not meet FMVSS No. 139, FMVSS No. 119, and FMVSS No. 109. The objection is to acquire services associated with the acquisition, inspection, and compliance testing of tires and reporting results to assist the government to determine tire manufacturers’ compliance with applicable FMVSSs.
