NHTSA’s New Car Assessment Program requires pedestrian protection impact testing on production motor vehicles. The contractor(s) will perform test-procedure evaluation; impactor qualification for headform, Flexible Pedestrian Legform Impactor (Flex-PLI), and upper legform; and pedestrian headform, Flex-PLI, and upper-legform tests on assigned vehicle models, following the NCAP Crashworthiness Pedestrian Protection Test Procedure, plus related qualification, reporting, and optional cyclist/aPLI testing. The Government intends to make multiple awards and issue firm-fixed-price task/delivery orders as vehicle models are assigned. Awards will be made on a best-value tradeoff basis considering technical factors—Technical Plan, Quality Assurance Management Plan, and Test Procedures; Facilities and Equipment; Organization and Personnel Qualifications; and Past Performance and Prior Experience—and price, with technical factors combined being more important than price. Full details are in the attached solicitation and support documents.
