- Description
- The US Army Soldier Systems Center, Army Contracting Command, Natick, intends to award on a sole source basis with Advanced Medical Technology, INC. (AMTI), of Waltham, MA, under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements for the Optima Force Platform system, as this is a highly specialized piece of equipment. The NSRDEC Biomechanics team currently uses a previous model AMTI force plate system in research studies to evaluate soldier gait mechanics and other dynamic soldier movements. There are three key performance features of the force platforms that limit the availability to one source: COP accuracy that is accurate to less than 0.2mm, crosstalk values that are typically +/- 0.05% of applied load, and measurement accuracy that is +/-0.1& of applied load. The Optima force plate also has a 2000 lb Vertical Force Capacity, sensitivity of 0.375, a natural frequency of 1000 in Vertical Force, and further AMTI has a proprietary Precision Calibration that takes up to 4000 measurements throughout he platforms' entire rated capacity. AMTI is the sole manufacturer and distributor of the Optima Force Platform system. All responsible sources may submit a bid, proposal, or quotation which shall be considered by the agency. All questions and/or inquiries must be submitted in writing either by e-mail to the contract specialist Laura Arscott at laura.e.arscott.civ@mail.mil. The closing date of this notice is 14 May 2012 at 4:30pm Eastern Standard Time.
