TIRE TESTING is done by a 3rd party

The US Environmental Protection Agency has a current bid request open to testing agencies to provide the service of testing truck tires .
I do the government bids for a large wholesale materials company .
It is my job to peruse over hundreds of Solicitations for materials and services that our company provides .
We do not do Tire Testing but we do provide some automotive , aircraft , naval parts and assemblies .
I just want to point out that the government does not do these tire tests themselves .
Successful bidders provide those services to the government .
So a third party rather than the manufacturers or the government is who actually perform these tests .
A recent tire thread posed this question .
