Objective: To find sources that are qualified to meet the supplies/services as listed. Note that the specific requirements in section B are subject to change prior to the release of any solicitation. B. Technical Specifications The Contractor shall deliver a quantity of 180 thin-film PVDF strain/stress gauges packages. The required lead time for delivery is no more than 14 weeks After Receipt of Order (ARO). The delivery location shall be the Army Research Laboratory (ARL), Aberdeen Proving Ground (APG), MD, 21005. The required thin-film PVDF strain/stress gauges packages shall meet the following technical specifications: The gauges are to be no thicker than 0.001� with an element size no greater than 0.125� for minimal invasiveness and discrete stress measurements, respectively. The gauges are to be laminated with protective polymer material to protect the gauges from the environmental conditions inherent to PMHS testing. The gauges should be able to measure normal stresses in the range of 10-1,000 megapascals (MPa), or, 0.1-10 kbar. The gauges require the capability of bi-directional strain compensation. This should be achieved by layering the stress gauge with a bi-directional strain gauge. The gauges are required to have known voltage-stress calibrations and shipped with each gauge. Each gauge will have connective leads a minimum of 3� from the gauge element. Gauge lead junctions will have cables soldered to them and protected with epoxy and heat-shrink. The cables will terminate in a BNC connections with a cable length of at least 6 feet. The stress gauges are required to capture sharp rises in stress, on the order of 100 nanoseconds to 50 microseconds. Power supplies for strain compensation gauges will also be supplied. C. Responses: All interested parties should notify this office in writing, mail, fax, or e-mail within the posted date.� Responses shall include: To what extent each of the specifications can be met. Include your type of business (i.e. commercial, academia), whether your organization is classified as a large or small business based on the 500 employee standard that accompanies NAICS code 334519.
