About this file
This document is a Questions and Answers (Q&A) response from the Department of the Air Force's Business and Enterprise Systems Directorate at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, addressing inquiries for solicitation FA8601-26-Q-0004. The document contains two specific technical questions and their corresponding answers. The first question seeks clarification on acceptable sensor models (Delta, Omega85, Omega160) for a wind tunnel balance, with the response indicating that the balance must meet all product/performance requirements from the solicitation and confirming that the 25m cable should run from the wind tunnel balance to the DAQ (Data Acquisition System). The second question pertains to the type of linear interaction matrix, with the government confirming that the 1st order linear interaction matrix is acceptable, despite the vendor suggesting the 2nd order matrix might perform better but at double the cost. The document is signed by Joshua L. Clymer, Contracting Officer from AFLCMC/PZIBA, on 5 December 2025.

FROM: AFLCMC/PZIBA
2275 D Street, Area B, Bldg 16 Wright-Patterson AFB OH 45433
SUBJECT: Response to Inquiries Regarding FA8601-26-Q-0004
QUESTIONS
Question 1:
A. Can you please suggest if the sensors suggested below are acceptable:
Delta: https://www.ati-ia.com/products/ft/ft_models.aspx?id=Delta Omega85: https://www.ati-ia.com/products/ft/ft_models.aspx?id=Omega85 Omega160: https://www.ati-ia.com/products/ft/ft_models.aspx?id=Omega160
B. Can you also confirm if you need the 25m to be from the sensor to the power supply or the power supply to the DAQ?
ANSWER A:
The wind tunnel balance must meet all of the product/performance requirements from the solicitation.
ANSWER B:
The 25 m cable is from the wind tunnel balance to the DAQ.
Question 2:
We have compiled 2 quotes, (one) for 1st order linear interaction matrix and other for 2nd order 6x27 matrix.
Please confirm if the customer need 1st order or 2nd order. We believe that the 2nd order would work.
But it is double the cost of 1st order.
ANSWER:
The 1st order linear interaction matrix is acceptable.
