Micro Load Frame Supply and Integration

A precision Micro Load Frame is being procured for integration with a Jupiter XR Atomic Force Microscope to enable stress-response analysis of energetic materials, requiring high accuracy and compatibility with advanced nanoscale characterization capabilities. The equipment must be engineered to withstand and precisely measure mechanical loads at micro and nanoscales while operating in tandem with the existing AFM system to deliver reliable, synchronized data under controlled environmental conditions. This subcontract is issued under the Department of Defense, specifically managed by the Air Force Research Laboratory at Wright Patterson Air Force Base, with performance obligations centered at the 45433 zip code location. The solicitation, classified under NAICS code 333318 for other industrial machinery manufacturing, is open for responses until July 8, 2026, with no set-aside provisions indicated. The successful bidder must deliver a fully integrated system ready for immediate deployment, ensuring seamless operational synergy between the load frame and the Jupiter XR platform without requiring extensive modification of existing infrastructure.
