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 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. ## Attachments - [Synposis Experimental and Mathematical Biomechanics Injury Research.pdf](https://sam.gov/api/prod/opps/v3/opportunities/resources/files/168dcae910bb41149448a4b74700875f/download) ## Open now in the same industry 126 open in NAICS 541715. - SBIR FY26 Phase I Broad Agency Announcement (68HERW26R0102), due November 8, 2026 at 11:59 PM EST. https://abierto.us/opportunities/68herw26r0102 - System of systems Technology Integration Tool Chain for Heterogeneous Electronic Systems (STITCHES) Sources Sought (STITCHES_001), due November 14, 2026 at 1:00 PM EST. https://abierto.us/opportunities/stitches001 - Synthesis and Distribution of Drugs of Abuse and Related Compounds (75N98027R00006OT), due November 20, 2026 at 1:00 PM EST. https://abierto.us/opportunities/75n98027r00006ot ## Publications - October 15, 2026: Presolicitation, due November 30, 2026 at 3:00 PM EST.
