FAR Subpart 13.5 procedures will be used. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren Divi sion intends to purchase on a sole source basis the following: CLIN 0001 - Material Test Station from MTS Systems Corporation, 14000 Technology Drive, Eden Prairie, MN. MTS is the only known company that has a system that directly incorporates and integrates the environmental chamber with the materials testing programs that allows for single workstation control of both materials testing and environmental conditions. The material test station will be used for the Joint Services Family of Decontaminations Systems (JSFDS). The instrument will allow for a large scale, joint services materials compatibilities study on the effects of a variety of chemical and biological decontamination systems on a variety of military materials. The contractor shall provide the Material Test Station in accordance with the following four Critical Operational Requirements. Critical Operational Re quirement One: Sample Testing Capabilities (such as amount of force under different types of tests that can be applied): A. Minimum hydraulic testing strength equal 5000 lbs (25kN), B. Dynamic Test Force Capacity from at least minus 2 kip or lower (Bend), C. Static Force Capacity of 6 kip or higher (Bend), D. High frequency dynamic modulation capabilities, E. Both tests ASTM D-790 and 2344 compliant, F. Max Operating Pressure of 2800 psi, G. Direct Emergency system depressurization and stop as well as remote Emergency stop, H. Full Range Calibration, and I. All sample-handling components need to be compatible with the potential operating conditions for humidity and temperature. Critical Operational Requirement Two: Sample Manipulation Capabilities (different sizes and types of materials that can be tested): A. Minimum test space of 18 inches width and 30 inches h eight, B. Full range Environmental chamber directly incorporated into test space (i) Operating temperature range of at least minus 40 degrees Celsius up to 200 degrees Celsius, (ii) Humidity range of at least 20 percent up to 90 percent humidity, (iii) Test chamber size of at least 1.25 cu. Ft., no larger than 3 cu. Ft., C. Sample grips (i) Pneumatic sample grips, (ii) Hydraulic sample grips, (iii) Grips must be dogbone compatible, (iv.) Alternate grips to allow for non-standard sample types and shapes, D. Types of Materials to be tested include, but not exclusively (i.) Plastics, (ii) Polymers and polymer composites (Kevlar vests), (iii) Metal and metal alloys (airplane skins), (iv) Glasses, polycarbonate, Lexan and other clear faceplate or windshield polymeric systems, (v.) Uniforms, (vi.) Chem/Bio Protective Suits and peripherals, (vii.) Machinery Equipment such as vehicle tires, machine belts, valve seating and gaskets. Critical Operational Requirement Three: Computerized Control and Data Acquisition and Analysis Capabilities (software driven): A. Greater than 4 KHz data acquisition and at least 8 bit resolution. B. At least 3 open digital channels for user defined data acquisition. C. Computer control of shape of applied static or dynamic stress (waveform variation capable). D. RS232 and/or USBII computer interface. E. Full metric testing standardizations. F. Full Software Capability to generate and store the following materials testing programs: (i.) Tensile strength, (ii.) Compression, (iii.) Bend, (iv.) Fatigue, (v.) Static Fatigue, (vi.) Dynamic Fatigue, (vii.) Modulus, (viii.) Wear Characteristics, (ix) Fracture Toughness, (x.) Crack Propagation, (xi.) Yield and ultimate strength. Critical Operational Requirement Four: Specializ ed Support Equipment Requirements: A. Self contained internal radiator system, B. Self contained hydraulic and pneumatic power train supply that is laboratory compatible in regards to the following issues: (i.)
