- Description
- The purpose of this amendment is to answer questions received in reference to this solicitation. Q: What is the expected extension for the tension tests? A: It is likely that most of our work can be performed with extensions of 3-5 cm. The upper limit of our testing may range to 10 cm. Q: The specifications state the system needs to be upgradable to 1,500 lbs. Based on the loads specified in this tender the maximum being 250 pounds, what would the application be that would warrnt the need to be able to go up to approximately 1,500 pounds? A: We are anticipating that future samples (bone) may require much higher loads. Q: What is the application and load values for the test that warrant the need for the test system to be on its side? A: Load values are same as indicated in tender. Longer specimens will require larger baths. The baths may be either taller or potentially longer. Having longer, shallower baths will better facilitate manipulation of the tissues being tested. For instance, we might stimulate the tissues electrically or incise various portions of the tissue being testing. This would not be easily performed in a system oriented vertically. Quote packages are due by 8:00 PM EST on January 26, 2012. Quotes must be submitted via email to micreenan@usuhs.mil. Quotes will not be accepted by any other means. Late quotes will not be considered.
