The U.S. Army Test Measurement Diagnostic Equipment (TMDE) Activity at Redstone Arsenal seeks to procure two MCM5004 Manual Mass Comparators or equivalent units as a life cycle replacement for inoperable models. These comparators must meet specific requirements, including a maximum measurement capacity of 5 Kg, a readability of 0.1 mg, and a repeatability at or below 0.5 mg. The units should feature a digital readout, the ability to perform internal calibration adjustments, and E1 calibration capability with a stabilization time of less than 4 seconds. This procurement falls under a Justification and Approval for Other than Full and Open Competition, indicating a necessity for brand-name specifications to fulfill the operational needs of the Army Physical Standards Labs at the designated location. The document reflects the procedural requirements and specifications inherent in government contracting processes, specifically aligned with FAR Part 6 regulations.

The U.S. Army TMDE Activity (USATA) seeks to procure two MCM5004 Manual Mass Comparators or equivalent for lifecycle replacement of an aging model. These comparators, to be delivered to the Army Physical Standards Labs at Redstone Arsenal, must meet specific criteria: a maximum measurement capacity of 5 Kg, readability of 0.1 mg, and repeatability of 0.5 mg or better, featuring a digital readout. Additional requirements include the ability to perform internal calibration adjustments, compensation for off-center loading, and E1 calibrations at a 5 kg load with stabilization in under four seconds. The designated shipping address is clearly outlined for delivery logistics. This procurement aims to enhance USATA's capabilities in precise mass measurements, aligning with their ongoing mission requirements.
