Solicitation 75D30126Q79234, issued by the CDC Office of Acquisition Services under the Department of Health and Human Services, seeks the procurement of specialized laboratory mining equipment to support the Pittsburgh Mining Research Division. The acquisition focuses on enhancing rock-mechanics and ground-control research through the purchase of a complete rock-specimen cutting system, a computerized grinding machine, a creep test apparatus, and a triaxial testing machine. These tools are intended to produce accurate, repeatable data on rock, coal, concrete, and asphalt samples, supporting critical research in seismic potential forecasting, panel-well optimization, and roof-stability assessments for U.S. coal and stone mines. The procurement includes a detailed list of firm-fixed-price items such as servohydraulic control consoles, compression frames, triaxial cell components, and strain gauge kits, all adhering to standards like ASTM D7012 and EN 12390-4. All equipment must be delivered to the facility in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, with a response deadline of September 14, 2026, and a required period of performance ending on or before September 30, 2026. This investment aims to increase laboratory efficiency, reduce reliance on external testing, and provide the high-quality mechanical data necessary for advanced numerical modeling and pillar-design evaluations.

Full Description
The purpose of this acquisition is to obtain the specialized laboratory equipment necessary to support PMRD’s ongoing rock‑mechanics and ground‑control research by ensuring the consistent preparation and testing of geological specimens aligned with rock preparations and testing standards. This includes acquiring a complete rock‑specimen cutting system capable of producing accurate, repeatable cuts on rock, coal, concrete, asphalt, and core samples; a computerized grinding machine that will significantly reduce specimen preparation labor while supporting major research projects such as seismic potential forecasting and panel‑well optimization; a creep test apparatus to provide essential time‑dependent rock‑property data for numerical modeling in coal and stone mines; and a triaxial testing machine required to determine cohesion and friction angle parameters for specimens collected from mine sites. Together, these systems will improve specimen quality, enhance laboratory efficiency, reduce the costs and delays associated with external testing, and provide high‑quality mechanical data needed to support advanced modeling, pillar‑design evaluations, roof‑stability assessments, and the development of comprehensive databases for U.S. coal and stone mines. All equipment will be delivered to the Pittsburgh Mining Research Division facility within the established period of performance, ensuring PMRD has the necessary capabilities to meet current and future research demands.
