About this file
This document contains questions and answers related to a federal contract opportunity for a Bomb Lift Test Weight. The key details are:
The contract requires a custom-built test weight of 6,700 pounds (+550/-0) to be used for bomb lift table testing. The weight can be fabricated from concrete, cast iron, or steel, but must be completely sealed and painted. The weight should be designed to be stable and less susceptible to falling over compared to the current concrete design. Corrosion resistance is a major requirement due to the salty environment. The intended lifespan for the test weight is 30 years. Additional requirements include providing a traceable certificate of the exact as-built weight within 5 pounds. The contract is being procured by the Department of the Air Force Special Operations Command.

1. Does density / volume mater? Are there further requirements on the 19.5'' under rails?
Answer: Density / volume doesn’t mater, however steel or durable metal is needed to ensure longevity as the current one is made of concrete as depicted in picture 1, and is out of weight limits due to damage and weathering. The slot under needs to be 24” to 26”” to drive the unit underneath it weight.
If rails are used, 19.5” is good, but not needed if underside of the weight is made of durable metal
2. Any desired improvements, or deficiencies in the current design? (i.e eyebolt for chain hoist)
Answer: The current design as seen in picture 1 is NOT ideal. With all the volume on top, the test weight is suscep�ble to falling when a hydraulic failure occurs. In picture 2 & 3 you can see that most of the weight is in the legs, making it more stable and less likely to fall off the bombli� making it safer overall. Addi�onally, the design shown in pictures 2 & 3 are easier and safer to comply with annual tes�ng / weight verifica�on.
3. Are there environmental condi�ons, such as sea salt, radioac�vity, or corrosive chemicals?
Answer: Corrosion is a major concern here at Hurlburt field as we are near salt water.
4. Intended lifespan?
Answer: 30 Years.
