- Description
- Under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, the U.S. Army RDECOM Acquisition Center, Natick Contracting Division, Natick, MA intends to award a Firm fixed Price Purchase Order Advanced Material Technologies Inc. of Watertown MA, for a Custom Integrated Force Plate Treadmill. The custom force plate treadmill will be designed to allow for biomechanics data capture of Soldier volunteers walking with extremely heavy loads and exoskeletal devices. The custom force plate treadmill will allow for a wide enough walking surface to handle a Soldier walking with an exoskeleton prototype (which results in a wider step width and wider overall footprint than walking without an exoskeleton). The custom force plate treadmill will further allow for the loading of a Soldier with; backpack loads, exoskeleton prototype on the treadmill without altering the Soldiers gait the custom force plate treadmill will have wider walking surface and will accommodate these gross weights and will incorporate state of the art technology and engineering. To include but not limited to; unique capabilities of pitch and roll adjustment. The minimum requirements are as follows; Approximate Overall Size: 1524 mm (5 feet) wide x 1524 mm (5 feet) long with dual axis inclining feature. Height less than 610 mm (24 inches). Running Surfaces: Two 610 mm (24 inches) wide x 1321 mm (52 inches) long Speed: 0 - 12 MPH (0 - 19 KPH). Rated Treadmill Subject Weight: 600 lb. Drive Motor Horsepower: Six. Incline: +/- 25% grade, hydraulically operated. Provided on both the x and y axes. May be inclined simultaneously. Load: The force plates must have a 9000 N (2000 lb) vertical force capacity and 4500 N (1000 lb) horizontal capacity. Force Measurement Capabilities: The system should independently measure Fz, Fx,Fy, Mz, Mx, and My. The system should provide signals adequate to determine the center of pressure (COP). The force sensitivities of the treadmill forceplates are: Fx, Fy.34 V/vN; Fz.09 V/vN; Mx.50 V/vNm; My 1.0 V/vNm; Mz.90 V/vNm Two MSA-6 amplifiers must be included Portability: The treadmill should be provided with wheels to allow it to be moved within the facility. Leveling feet are also needed for installation. Weight: 2000 lb (estimated). Safety Railings: The treadmill should have removable front and side railings surrounding the running surface, which can be easily installed or removed from the treadmill. Power Requirements: The treadmill should require 208/240 VAC three-phase electric power. Computer and manual control of belts provided. PC controls interface should be included. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement in the future. Interested parties may identify their interest and capability to respond to this requirement to the U.S. Army RDECOM Acquisition Center, Natick Contracting Division, via e-mail at stephen.abate@us.army.mil.
