The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is seeking qualified businesses to provide 160 hydraulic rams, as part of a market research initiative to assess available suppliers. The hydraulic rams must meet specific technical specifications, including a maximum operating pressure of 10,000 psi, a cylinder capacity exceeding 98 short tons, and precise dimensions for stroke and height, with materials predominantly made of steel. These rams are crucial for laboratory operations in rock physics research, ensuring the application of force to large rock surfaces with precision. Interested parties should submit their technical specifications and brochures via email to Tracy Huot at thuot@usgs.gov by March 20, 2025, at 10:00 AM PDT, as hardcopy submissions will not be accepted.
