About this file
This Product Description document outlines the U.S. Army Sustainment Command's requirements for a mechanical shock tester, designed to simulate physical impacts on Department of Defense packaging and materials. The system must be capable of testing payloads up to 500 lbs and comply with ASTM D3332 and MIL-STD-810 Method 516.8 standards, supporting various shock waveform pulses including half-sine, trapezoidal, and terminal peak sawtooth.
The required mechanical shock tester specifications include a 24-inch drop height, a solid aluminum shock table with a threaded hole grid pattern, electric hoist, steel seismic mass, and payload-mountable accelerometers. The system must feature a data acquisition system with a color touchscreen controller enabling manual and automatic drop controls, programmable safety interlocks, test profile storage, data logging, and USB/serial port connectivity for upgrades and diagnostics. The solicitation is a pre-solicitation (Sources Sought) with the solicitation number PANRSA25P0000009546, issued by the Department of the Army Materiel Command Contracting Command at Redstone Arsenal.

Product Description
US Army Sustainment Command (HQ, ASC)
REQUIRED CAPABILITIES
The base requirement of the contemplated contract action is for quantity one (1) mechanical shock tester, used to perform laboratory simulations of the effects of physical impacts on DoD packaging, packaging materials, and other materiel. The test system should be capable of performing some or all of the testing as described in the below industry and military standards for product payloads up to 500 lbs (227 kg). In their response, the Contractor should show how the proposed equipment meets or exceeds the salient characteristics listed below. Any exceptions or limitations to these requirements, if applicable, should also be identified.
SALIENT CHARACTERSTICS
1.) The test system should be in compliance with and have the capability of performing testing in accordance with the following specifications and standards:
• ASTM D3332: Standard Test Methods for Mechanical-Shock Fragility of Products, Using Shock Machines
• MIL-STD-810, Method 516.8: Environmental Engineering Considerations and Laboratory Tests – Shock
2.) The tester should be capable of:
a. Delivering mechanical shock to payloads up to 500 lbs (227 kg).
b. Half-sine, trapezoidal, and terminal peak sawtooth waveform pulses.
c. Minimum 24 in (61 cm) drop height.
3.) The tester should include:
a. Solid aluminum shock table with minimum dimensions 25 in (63.5 cm) by 25 in (63.5 cm) with 6 in2 (38.7 cm2) or smaller grid pattern of threaded holes for payload fixturing.
b. Appropriately sized electric hoist, if necessary.
c. Solid steel seismic mass with floor isolation.
d. Payload-mountable accelerometer(s).
4.) The tester should include a data acquisition system and color touchscreen programmer/controller with:
a. Manual control allowing for user-controlled drops.
b. Automatic control allowing for programmable, repeatable cycles of drops.
c. Programmable safety interlocks.
d. User-programmable test profiles for saving/recalling test sequences.
e. Exportable test data logging.
f. A USB or serial port connection for software upgrades, diagnostics, and data export.
g. English displayed language.
5.) The Contractor should identify all utility requirements in their response, including electric, nitrogen, and air. Electric shall be standard U.S. 60 Hz power.
