The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) seeks to expand its Electronics Product Test Center (EPTC) by acquiring two force tester systems for prompt battery PLT testing. The equipment must include test frames, load cells, grips, and shipping to the DLA Land and Maritime facility in Columbus, Ohio. Vendors will coordinate delivery dates and are responsible for shipping the items to the specified location. This expansion is driven by an increase in NSNs and a 30-day contractual obligation for PLT testing. The work, valued at approximately $500,000, requires experience in testing and a quick turnaround, with evaluations based on past performance, certifications, and delivery scheduling. Proposals are due by August 9th, 2024, and the successful vendor will invoice through the Wide Area Workflow system. DLA aims to enhance its battery testing capabilities to meet its contractual obligations efficiently.
The government agency seeks to procure two new force tester systems and associated accessories for the Defense Supply Center Columbus (DSCC) in Ohio. These systems, Mecmesin OmniTest 2.5kN Universal Testers, come with extended warranties and calibration certifications. They have specific technical requirements, including ISO standards, and will be delivered with associated accessories like loadcells, grips, and fixtures. The contractor is responsible for contacting the DSCC to schedule delivery, with costs included in the contract. This contract, valued at approximately $135,000, is a firm-fixed-price agreement, with payment processed through the Wide Area Workflow system within 10 days of delivery. The key date for submission is 25th August 2024, and evaluations will assess the offered systems' compliance with these detailed specifications.
The document outlines a Request for Quote (RFQ) for the acquisition of two Force Tester Systems and necessary support equipment for the Defense Supply Center Columbus (DSCC) electronics lab. The purpose is to enhance battery testing capabilities to meet contractual obligations for post-launch testing (PLT) of batteries within a 30-day timeframe after receiving samples. Interested vendors must submit quotes by September 25, 2024, and provide complete pricing including shipping and warranty options. The quote submission guidelines emphasize the acceptable methods for submitting offers and specify requirements such as detailed specifications for the equipment requested, including model numbers and performance characteristics. The RFQ stipulates a firm-fixed-price contract with delivery and inspection at the destination. Key contacts are identified for procurement and technical inquiries, and adherence to various federal regulations is mandated throughout the award process. Overall, this solicitation embodies the government's commitment to improving its testing facilities while ensuring compliance with regulatory standards and timeliness in testing operations.
