Design and Supply of Freestanding Motion Capture Truss System

The contract calls for the design and supply of a freestanding truss system engineered to support over sixty motion capture cameras with ultra-low vibration characteristics and a minimum distributed load capacity of 650 pounds. The structure must be ground-supported, dimensioned at 38 feet in length, 34 feet in width, and 10 feet in height, and built to accommodate standard 2-inch clamp connections for camera and equipment integration. The system must be self-contained, requiring no structural attachment to existing buildings or infrastructure, ensuring flexibility in deployment while maintaining stability under operational loads. The solicitation, issued under the NAICS code 332312 for Metal Fabrication, is a subcontract opportunity posted by the Department of Commerce NIST with a response deadline of July 16, 2026. There is no set-aside designation specified, and the place of performance and point of contact information are not provided. All proposals must demonstrate technical feasibility, structural integrity, and compliance with the exacting requirements for vibration control and load distribution, ensuring seamless performance in high-precision motion capture environments. The project emphasizes precision engineering, reliability, and ease of installation without reliance on auxiliary supports.
