Load Cells (LC) and Load Cell Indicators (LCI) Statement of Work (SOW)

1.0 INTRODUCTION

Current model numbers of Load Cells (LC) and Load Cell Indicators (LCI) in the Naval Air Systems (NAVAIR) Metrology and Calibration (METCAL) program’s inventory are in need of replacement. The minimum quantity of LCs procured shall be three (3). The minimum quantity of LCIs shall be three (3). A maximum quantity of 50 LCs and a maximum quantity of 80 LCIs are being sought to replace broken and aging systems that have lost functionality due to aging internal components. A three (3) year Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Firm Fixed Price (FFP) contract is planned. Throughout the remainder of this document calibration equipment will be referred to as either a calibration standard or standard. It should be noted that the routine NAVAIR METCAL nomenclature for calibration hardware used to verify the operation of test instruments (TI) is the term “standard”.

2.0 BACKGROUND

Load Cells measure an applied force by using a transducer to create a voltage proportional to the amount of force applied. The Load Cells in the NAVIAR METCAL inventory are used to verify the correct operation of test instruments such as, but not limited to, aircraft scales, universal testing machines and laboratory balances. Load Cell Indicators display a voltage generated by a transducer in a Load Cell so an operator can clearly determine the amount of force applied to the Load Cell.
