Pneumatic Vibration Isolation Support System

The Naval Research Laboratory is seeking a subcontractor to supply a high-performance pneumatic vibration isolation support system, specifically the Gimbal Piston™ model, engineered to support up to 4,000 pounds with exceptional isolation efficiency for sensitive optical equipment. This system must provide precise self-leveling capabilities to maintain optimal alignment under dynamic conditions, ensuring minimal transmission of ambient vibrations that could compromise experimental accuracy. The equipment is intended for use at the laboratory’s facility in Washington, DC, with a ZIP code of 20375, and must meet stringent performance and reliability standards consistent with Department of Defense applications. The solicitation, issued under NAICS code 333992 for other commercial and industrial machinery and equipment manufacturing, was posted on August 4, 2026, with responses required by August 8, 2026. The contract is structured as a subcontract, indicating the selected vendor will deliver the system to support an existing mission or program managed by the Naval Research Laboratory. The system’s design must facilitate seamless integration with existing optical instrumentation while maintaining operational stability in high-sensitivity environments. No set-aside preferences are specified, and all eligible suppliers are encouraged to respond by the deadline through the designated SAM.gov portal.
