1. Mechanical Test Lab
12 June 2024
Requiring Activity: DLA Product Test Center Division, Mechanical Lab, located at Cols, Ohio.
Contracting Activity: DLA Contracting Services located at Cols, Ohio.
2. Introduction
This is a description of the DLA Mechanical Product Test Center (MPTC) requirements for the
procurement of a Large Metallographic Cut-off Saw. It is the intent here to clearly define all
required performance characteristics. In generating this statement, our objective is to end up
with a large metallographic cut-off saw which replaces obsolete / non-operating equipment. This
acquisition will improve sectioning time and allow for a greater diversity of parts received from
the Product Verification Test Coordinators. Our general objective is to minimize any impact to the
MPTC operations and our customers as a result of this procurement, especially with regards to
test cycle time. This equipment will decrease time required to section parts and remove any
discrepancies with current sectioning equipment. This machine will replace non-functioning Leco
sectioning equipment with newer and more technically advanced equipment.
3. Background
This equipment would increase MPTC’s sectioning efficiency and accuracy, help improve testing
turnaround time, and replace one non-operational Leco cut-off saw. Most importantly
procurement of this equipment will increase our current metallographic testing capacity. Not
procuring this piece of equipment would leave the MPTC with only one fully functioning manual
cut-off saw.
4. Scope
Install one Struers Large Metallographic Cut-off Saw.
