Electro-Mechanical Dynamic Load Frame System

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration, through its Office of Acquisition and Grant Services, is seeking offers for an Electro-Mechanical Dynamic Load Frame System under a firm-fixed-price contract with a solicitation number of 76F40126Q132448, posted on May 18, 2026, with responses due by May 28, 2026. The contract will provide for the procurement of the system and up to four one-year option periods for post-warranty service, maintenance, calibration, repair, and technical support to be performed at the FDA’s Center for Devices and Radiological Health in Silver Spring, Maryland. The system must meet stringent technical standards including ASTM E4, ISO 7500-1 Class 0.5, and ASTM E83 for load accuracy and extensometer verification, and must be capable of withstanding one billion fatigue cycles at maximum load. It must operate without requiring internet connectivity, include environmental temperature compensation, and comply with Section 508 accessibility requirements for all information and communication technology, necessitating submission of an Accessibility Conformance Report using the Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT) Version 2.0 in MS Word format. Evaluation will follow a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable approach, where offers must first meet all technical requirements to be considered, and then the lowest-priced responsible offeror will be selected. Offerors must be registered in SAM.gov and provide their Unique Entity ID, but no socioeconomic certifications or small business preferences are required due to full and open competition under NAICS code 334516. All invoices must be submitted electronically through the Treasury’s Invoice Processing Platform, not WAWF, and are subject to Net-30-day payment terms after government acceptance. Special requirements include adherence to contractor whistleblower protections, restrictions on internal confidentiality agreements, and provisions for avoiding organizational conflicts of interest. Performance must occur at the designated federal facility without scheduling during federal holidays, and the contractor assumes all costs and risks under FOB Destination terms until delivery and acceptance. Contract administration will be handled by a designated COR, though specific contact names are not provided, and payment inquiries should be directed to the IPP Helpdesk. Failure to meet accessibility, technical, or submission requirements—such as macros in documents or omission of the VPAT—will render the proposal non-responsive.
