Electromechanical Dynamic Load Frame

The Food and Drug Administration is forecasting the acquisition of an electromechanical dynamic load frame designed for electrodynamic and fatigue testing, including integration with four actuator channels designated as 4 OY. This system is intended for high-precision mechanical testing applications critical to evaluating the performance and durability of medical devices and materials under simulated physiological loads. The procurement falls under NAICS code 333249, which classifies it within the other industrial machinery manufacturing sector, indicating a specialized piece of testing equipment rather than general-purpose lab instrumentation. The opportunity is posted on the HHS OSDBU portal, with no solicitation number issued yet and no set-aside designation specified, suggesting it may be open to all eligible contractors. The point of contact for program inquiries is the CDRH Acquisition Liaison via cdrhacquisitions@fda.hhs.gov, while the contracting officer role remains undetermined. The place of performance and agency office location details are not provided, implying the equipment may be delivered to a FDA facility for research or compliance testing, likely within a laboratory or regulatory evaluation center. Prospective vendors should prepare to meet technical specifications for high-cycle fatigue testing and dynamic load control, with full solicitation details to follow in a future formal notice.
