About this opportunity

The Department of the Army Materiel Command Contracting Command at Redstone Arsenal is seeking sources for a mechanical shock tester designed to simulate physical impacts on Department of Defense packaging and materials. The RFI targets a single Firm Fixed Price (FFP) unit capable of testing payloads up to 500 lbs and delivering multiple shock waveform pulses in compliance with ASTM D3332 and MIL-STD-810 Method 516.8 standards. Potential offerors are required to submit capabilities statements by 12:00 PM CDT on March 20, 2025, directly to Skylar Summers via email, detailing their product specifications, technical compliance, manufacturing capabilities, and company information. The market research seeks comprehensive technical details about potential shock testing systems, including specifications for the shock table, data acquisition system, touchscreen controller, and related technological features. Evaluation will focus on companies' ability to meet rigorous technical requirements and demonstrate comprehensive testing capabilities.

The procurement falls under NAICS category 334519 (Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing) with a small business size standard of 600 employees, and businesses of all sizes are encouraged to participate. While no specific set-aside has been designated, the solicitation may include up to four optional years of annual preventative maintenance and calibration. The pre-solicitation notice does not specify a precise award value or budget range, but indicates a comprehensive technical requirement for a complex testing system. The mechanical shock tester must include specific components such as a 24-inch drop height, solid aluminum shock table with threaded hole grid pattern, electric hoist, steel seismic mass, and payload-mountable accelerometers. The procurement timeline suggests potential contract award and implementation in fiscal year 2025, with the possibility of extended maintenance support through additional contract years.
