FMVSS No. 218 establishes minimum performance requirements for helmets designed for use by motorcyclists and other motor vehicle users.  The purpose of FMVSS No. 218 is to reduce deaths and injuries to motorcyclists and other motor vehicle users resulting from head impacts. The requirements for compliance testing of motorcycle helmets include testing such components to the load test requirements of FMVSS No. 218 as specified in TP-218-07.

The purpose of this contract is to acquire services associated with the acquisition, inspection, compliance testing, and compliance test reporting of motorcycle helmets to assist the Government in its enforcement efforts for FMVSS No. 218.  The information and data produced may be used in enforcement actions and therefore must be legally defensible.
