The solicitation (Notice ID 80NSSC25899411Q) requires three sets of OMEGA160-NET F/T Transducers US-600-3600, including associated cables, network boxes, adapters, and power supplies with specific technical specifications. The procurement will utilize a lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) evaluation methodology, where technical acceptability is determined by the ability to meet all solicitation requirements. Quotes are due by April 14, 2025, at 3:00 p.m. CT and must be submitted via email to Laura Quave. The brand name justification document emphasizes the unique characteristics of the ATI Industrial Automation load cells, which include pre-calibrated parameters, ethernet compatibility, and integrated signal conditioning.

This contract opportunity is set aside exclusively for small businesses, targeting the Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing NAICS category (334519). The total estimated period of performance is 8-10 weeks, with the equipment to be delivered and used within the United States. The transducers feature advanced technical specifications, including EDM wire-cut stainless steel construction, maximum overload values of 4.2 to 15.2 times rated capacities, and silicon strain gauges providing a signal 75 times stronger than conventional foil gauges. Each transducer weighs approximately 6 lbs and includes precise sensing ranges and resolutions for forces (Fx, Fy, Fz) and torques (Tx, Ty, Tz). While specific award value is not explicitly stated, the procurement involves three complete sets of highly specialized scientific measurement equipment.
