The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is seeking qualified contractors to establish a Compliance Test Program for Tires, aimed at enforcing federal motor vehicle safety standards (FMVSS) and enhancing public safety. The contractor will be responsible for acquiring, inspecting, and testing tires for compliance with FMVSS No. 139, No. 119, and No. 109, while providing detailed reporting on test data and observations, particularly in cases of test failures that may require further investigation by NHTSA. This initiative is critical for ensuring that tires sold in the U.S. meet safety standards, thereby reducing traffic-related fatalities and injuries. Interested parties can contact Michelle Shanahan at michelle.shanahan@dot.gov or by phone at 202-366-6715 for further details, as the contract will be awarded based on the contractor's ability to meet rigorous testing and reporting requirements.
