Full Description

On behalf of the NSRDEC located in Natick MA and under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), the U.S. Army Contracting Command-APG, Natick Contracting Division Natick, MA, intends to award a purchase order to Humanectics Innovative Solutions Inc of Plymouth MI for two (2) Dummy Parachute Model 131-001. The torso dummy corresponds to a 95th-percentile male, 6 feet 1 inch tall. The torso weighs 188 + 2 lbs. The normal weight of a young male of this stature is 211lbs. Hence, there is a nominal 23-lb weight allowance for instrumentation. The torso structure is a steel weldment, terminating at the base of the neck and at the shoulders in steel flanges which mate with manganese bronze caps. The torso is terminated in a de-mountable steel 'kick-plate,' providing access to the stub-leg instrumentation cavities. Two chest cavities are provided, each with its own flesh covering, for installation of accelerometers or other instrumentation and for junction strips and wiring. The flesh is molded of a very tough vinyl about the torso structure. The color of the vinyl body is spectral white, which sharpens the contrast of the dummy on event films. Any interested parties may submit their quote and specification package for consideration to the U.S. Army Contracting Command-APG, Natick Contracting Division, via e-mail at contact@example.gov . Closing date of this announcement will be August 3 2012 12:00pm EDT.
