AI Contract Overview
The contractor is required to provide a fully operational load measurement solution for the Government-owned MTS Mini-Bionix 858 system, including one load cell transducer and all necessary labor, materials, and installation services. The solution must be capable of measuring 0N to plus or minus 22,000N in tension and compression, and 0Nm to plus or minus 200Nm in torsion. The scope of work encompasses the removal of the existing transducer, fabrication and installation of interface plates, operational verification, and on-site force and torque calibration in accordance with ASTM E4-21 and ASTM E2624-17 standards with NIST-traceable certificates. The provided hardware must be compatible with existing MTS controller hardware, software, and data acquisition interfaces, specifically the load frame model 370.02. A minimum twelve-month warranty is required starting from final Government acceptance, covering all parts, labor, travel, and technical support. This non-personal services requirement is issued by the FDA Office of Acq Grant Svcs, with performance taking place in Silver Spring, Maryland.
