About this file

This is a Cost Proposal Form for North Dakota State University's Invitation for Bid (IFB SRC000482) to procure a Dynamic Mechanical Analyzer (DMA) system to support polymer testing research focused on electrically responsive surface textures for autonomous platforms. The procurement is being conducted through the NDBuys portal, with Casie Ewalt serving as the Procurement Officer and sole point of contact. Vendors must complete all pricing fields in U.S. dollars and include all costs necessary to furnish the proposed system as specified. The form does not explicitly state response deadlines, bid submission dates, site visits, or bidder's meetings, nor does it specify contract term or renewal options; these details would be contained in the complete IFB documentation.

The cost proposal requires vendors to provide pricing for the base bid system (including DMA hardware, software, licenses, testing fixtures, sensors, delivery, installation, commissioning, training, and one-year warranty), annual software and support costs for Years 2-5 (including license renewal, updates, maintenance, and technical support), and optional service and maintenance offerings. An optional rotational/torsional upgrade module with torque range capability (0.2 nNm to 230 mNm) may be proposed but is excluded from the evaluated base bid. The form requests a five-year informational total summary combining base bid and future-year costs. Vendors must certify that the total base bid includes all equipment and costs necessary to meet mandatory requirements with no additional mandatory charges. No set-asides, incumbent information, or specific funding sources are identified in this form.
