STATEMENT OF WORK

FOR

AXIAL EXTENSOMETER

15 APRIL 2025

I. BACKGROUND: The Air Force Institute of Technology needs an axial torsion extensometer.

An axial torsion extensometer is a convenient way to measure the deformation of a specimen during mechanical testing when applying load both in axial (tension or compression) and torsional (angular) modes. A normal axial extensometer cannot properly record the sample deformation when torsional load is also being applied, so it is necessary to have an axial torsion extensometer available for those tests.

II. MINIMUM TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS:

The extensometer shall meet the following characteristics:

1. The extensometer will come with the required hardware for use, such as the alumina ceramic rods and the testing load frame mount.

2. The extensometer will have a 1-inch axial gage length, and sample diameter of at least 0.8 inches.

3. The extensometer must have an axial travel of at least +/- 10% (0.1 in), and angular travel of at least +/- 5 degrees.

4. The extensometer will be able to mesh seamlessly with current laboratory equipment and software, i.e. MTS load frames and Station Manager programs.

5. The extensometer will have a water-cooling option and be able to sustain temperatures of at least up to 1200 C.

6. The water-cooling system must be compatible with 115V electrical panels and come with a flow regulator.

7. The extensometer manufacturer must have field service technicians or engineers within the United States who can respond to on-site technical issues and are able to gain access to a US military installation.

8. Must be a COTS items, no development article or BETA items will suffice.

III. QUALIFYING COUNTRY PRODUCTS: All products proposed/delivered to satisfy these requirements shall be either domestic or qualifying country end products in accordance with DFARS 252.225-7001. Buy American and Balance of Payments Program.

IV. DELIVERY: The contractor shall deliver a complete system to the following address:

SHIP TO DODAAC:F4F5AV

POC: Jamie Smith Air Force Institute of Technology/ENY 2950 Hobson Way

WPAFB, OH 45433

Phone number 937-656-6096 Email address: Jamie.Smith.1@us.af.mil ranell.easterday@us.af.mil

V. LEAD TIME: The contractor shall deliver a complete system no later than 4/months after contract award.

VI. WARRANTY: 1 year

VII. DELIVERY PROCEDURES COMMERCIAL VEHICLES: All vehicles larger than a large pick‐up truck is required to be inspected by the Wright‐ Patterson Air Force Base Commercial Vehicle Delivery Gate (CVDG) prior to entering the installation.

7.1 Vehicles to be inspected include, but are not limited to, the following:

7.1.1 Step van/panel truck

7.1.2 Tractor/trailer, box, and flatbed containing cargo

7.1.3 Tanker trucks

7.1.4 Box Trucks

7.1.5 Tour buses

7.1.6 Garbage/recycled waste trucks

7.1.7 Concrete trucks/mixers, dump trucks

7.1.8 Cranes, recreational vehicles, petroleum tanker

7.2 This inspection will be conducted at Gate 16A located off State Route 444. The following are exceptions to vehicles utilizing the CVDG:

7.2.1 If the vehicle has the product inside (concrete and asphalt trucks) and timely delivery is necessary due to product deterioration it does not need to enter the

CVDG. To bypass the CVDG, the contractor shall submit a list containing drivers’ names, social security numbers and the state in which the driver's license is held for those drivers who will be entering the base. This shall be accomplished 24 hours prior to requested entry time. If entry is requested on Monday, this list must be submitted by Friday at 1630 hours. All lists shall be submitted to the 88th ABW/CE Directorate contract inspector. The only gates that may be used under this exemption shall be 15A, 26A, 38A, and gate 1B.

If the driver's name is not on the list, he/she will not be allowed access to the installation through these gates and the base will not assume liability for denied access.

7.2.2 If a delivery vehicle must exit, and then re‐enter the base to complete its route, the vehicle shall be resealed upon exiting the base. After initially passing through the commercial vehicle delivery gate, trucks shall be resealed at Gates 15A, 38A and 22B. The resealing of the trucks will allow them to continue to any other area of the installation (Areas A, B, or Kittyhawk) without reprocessing through the CVDG. To receive resealing assistance, the drivers shall physically stop at one of the three authorized gates and request the installation entry controller to reseal their truck and provide the next location of their delivery. The controller will reseal the truck and give the delivery driver a pre‐clearance form. The driver shall present the pre‐clearance form to the entry controller at the next point of installation entry. This reentry can be at any base gate.

7.2.3 Wright Patterson Integrated Defense Plan, paragraph 3.10.12.9.2. All irregular deliveries will be sent to the CVDG for inspection. All visitors, which include contractors and commercial vendors without proper background checks and contractor passes, will not be allowed on WPAFB unless escorted by the receiving agency. This will take place after the individual(s) are issued a pre‐ clearance form at the CVDG. After successful completion of the vehicle inspection, the receiving agency will escort the individual to and from their destination on WPAFB. An inspector at the CVDG will contact the receiving.

agency, informing them to send an escort to the CVDG. Escorts will remain with the vehicle at all times while it is on WPAFB.

7.3 Vehicles may be subject to an inspection at any of installation entry control points during a directed random antiterrorism measure (RAM). Any commercial vehicle, regardless of size, can be directed to the CVDG at the discretion of the installation entry controller.

7.4 Payment: 100% payment upon completion of all requirements specified in this Statement of Work. Payment shall be made on a net 30 basis. Invoices shall be submitted and paid through Wide Area Work Flow (https://wawf.eb.mil)
