This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; offers are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This notice is being issued as a Request for Quotations (RFQ) for a highly specialized test system to perform two types of mechanical tests on bone and bone-like materials. The required test system shall have the following specifications: 1. Frictionless motor operation and sufficient stability to allow moving the unit from one building and room to another. 2. Test system with sensor and software. 3. Mechanical subsystem that includes load frame, motor, and load/displacement sensor. 4. High accurate displacement measurement (2m, with 1nm resolution) and fast response time throughout the wide frequency range (1-200 Hz). 5. Reproducible cyclic performance between 1 and 200 Hz; capacity up to 225 N force. 6. Compatible with future add-on of autoclavable chamber for analysis of cells or organs in culture with continuous monitoring capability. 7. Compatible with future add-on of torsion actuator that will allow simultaneous loading axially and in torsion. 8. Vertical orientation to facilitate ex vivo static testing. 9. Provide measurements of displacement, force and time as output variables. 10. Compatible 3-Point bending fixture. 11. Installation and set-up to operational state. The provisions and clauses in the RFQ are those in effect through FAC 2005-60. The NAICS Code and the small business size standard for this procurement are 334519 and 500 Employees respectively.
