The U.S. Army is seeking specialized lubrication system components and associated services for a research initiative at the ERDC laboratories focused on evaluating environmentally acceptable lubricants in hydropower turbine generator units. The effort requires a specific set of parts compatible with a unique Tribometer instrument owned by the DEVCOM Ground Vehicle Systems Center, including a Three Pad Thrust Bearing tooling set, an additional runner, ten thrust washers, and nine hundred steel pads or shoes with varied material specifications. These components are essential for conducting precise tribological testing and can only be sourced from the original equipment manufacturer, Phoenix Tribology Limited, due to the highly specialized and proprietary nature of the equipment, which has no functional equivalents on the market. To ensure accuracy and avoid damage to the existing government-owned apparatus, installation and calibration services by qualified personnel are also required. The acquisition is classified under NAICS code 334516 with a size standard of 1,250 employees and is not set aside for small businesses. While the government is open to receiving capability statements from any interested party, it has explicitly stated that Phoenix Tribology Limited is the sole provider capable of meeting the technical requirements. The opportunity is a presolicitation notice with no obligation to award a contract, and responses must be submitted electronically by August 12, 2026, to cerl-ct-quotes@usace.army.mil. Telephone submissions are not accepted. The anticipated award date is September 30, 2026, with the contracting office located in Champaign, Illinois, and points of contact listed for further inquiries.

An Army research program being carried out at the ERDC laboratories to explore use of environmentally acceptable lubricants (EALs) in hydropower turbine generator units, requires use of ERDC-CERL requires operation of a Tribometer instrument for testing purposes.  A set of parts and accessory components that are compatible with existing equipment within the Army inventory are required for carrying out the planned testing which includes:


  1. One tooling set for the Tribometer (#TE 92/AREA/6 Three Pad Thrust Bearing (Stribeck) Tooling),
  2. One extra runner compatible with the tooling set above.
  3. Ten thrust washers compatible with the tooling set above.
  4. Nine hundred steel pads/shoes (of various material specifications) that are compatible with the tooling set above.
  5. Services to install the above components and calibrate the Tribometer to ensure full functionality. 


The original equipment manufacturer (OEM), Phoenix Tribology Limited is the only company capable of fulfilling the Government’s requirement.  The US Army Combat Capabilities Development Command (DEVCOM) Ground Vehicle Systems Center (GVSC) possesses a Phoenix Tribometer that is fully suitable for the EAL performance testing that is needed for a project that is currently underway within ERDC research laboratories.  The existing tribometer at GVSC is a unique apparatus that was purchased over 10 years ago. Due to the highly specialized and unique nature of the system, no other vendor is able to service this piece of equipment or provide compatible attachments. To ensure mechanical and functional compatibility without risking damage to the existing Government-owned machine or compromising the research data, the specific Phoenix tooling must be procured. No equivalent product is available from any other manufacturer or distributor that can safely interface with the existing tribometer.


This is not a request for proposal and in no way obligates the Government to award any contract.


The associated North American Classification System (NAICS) code is 334516, Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing, which has a size standard of 1,250 employees. This is not a small business set aside. Any interested party that believes they can fulfil this requirement should submit a capability statement to be reviewed. All submissions will be considered, however there is no guarantee that submissions in response to this notice will in any way alter the Government’s acquisition strategy.


The anticipated award date for this action is 30 September 2026.
