The Department of Health and Human Services, specifically the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), is planning to issue a sole source order for Mine Roof Simulator Repairs. The Mine Roof Simulator is a large press used to measure the structural performance of roof supports and ventilation structures in coal mines, ensuring the safety of coal miners. The simulator has specific dimensions, with upper and lower platens measuring 20 feet by 20 feet and the ability to accommodate a specimen up to 16 feet tall. It can apply 1500 tons of vertical force, 800 tons of horizontal force, and react to 800 tons of lateral force. The purpose of this acquisition is to ensure the continued operation of the Mine Roof Simulator Laboratory at the lowest possible cost. The repairs required include replacing the Teflon coating on all four horizontal actuators. MTS Systems Corporation has been identified as the sole source for this repair work. Interested parties must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) prior to the award of the federal contract. Responses to this notice will be considered to determine whether a competitive procurement is necessary. Capabilities statements and pricing information should be submitted to Bethany Diaz, the Contract Specialist at CDC, by December 20, 2023.
