This interface shall allow future Government-supplied interface adapters to be mounted for UUT beyond the initial UUT. • The Contractor shall supply a mounting interface adapter for the initial unit under test, with test article dimensions and mounting hole pattern specified after contract award. • The test stand shall include a test article physical envelope of at least 24" H x 24" L x 24" W. • The Contractor shall supply intermediate shafting and interfaces to connect the unit under test to the dynamometer. • The dynamometer motor shall be mounted on a heavy duty weldment base with lifting features allowing the base and dynamometer to be moved by forktruck and/or overhead crane/hoist. • The dynamometer shall be removable from the stand to be mounted to other weldments as necessary. Instrumentation and Control • The Contractor shall provide a turnkey control system for the dynamometer that does not preclude integration with a Government-supplied National Instruments, Inc. manufactured control and data acquisition system running Labview software. If software is included with the dyno or if it is available but at additional cost, state this in your proposal. • In addition to any Contractor-provided interface, the control system shall accept Government-provided torque and speed controls relayed as analog voltages and digital enable commands. Any digital communication shall have latency of less than 20 milliseconds (ms), with less than 10 ms preferred. • The control system shall include configurable warnings and shutdowns to protect the stand from operating at damaging conditions. • The stand shall allow remote analog monitoring of torque, speed and other parameters by a Government supplied data acquisition system, to be installed after delivery of the stand. • Any signals measured by the control system for the purposes of verifying stand health (such as temperatures, vibration, etc.) shall be made accessible to a Government-supplied data acquisition system via OPC-UA or other mutually agreed method. • The dynamometer shall be controlled from an adjoining control room via Ethernet communications and a hard-wired emergency stop. Wire bundles and runs shall be kept to a minimum. • The dynamometer shall be capable of future integration by the Government with hardware-in-the-loop configurations using real-time modeling in environments such as Opal RT and Simulink. • The stand shall include a 0.05% full scale accuracy or better non-contact torque transducer • The stand shall reserve an open volume for mounting a 600 mm x 800 mm enclosure to the stand in which the Government's data acquisition system will reside. The mounting location shall be selected to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI) from power components. • The stand shall include provisions for conducting dead-weight calibration of torque sensor • The VFD shall be capable of setpoint ramp of 10-90% torque/speed commands within approximately 3 ms Safety • UL/NRTL: Provide list of stand components that are UL (previously Underwriters Laboratories) listed or tested by a Nationally Recognized Test Laboratory (NRTL) recognized by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). For commercial items, UL listing and/or NRTL tested is preferred but not required. • Shall include hazardous fault protections. • Shall include remote shutdown interlock. • Shall include shaft safety guards around rotating hardware. Installation Support • The contractor shall provide on-site installation support, commissioning and training for operation and maintenance of the stand. Cost proposals shall detail the duration and nature of installation support, commissioning and training. • The contractor shall commission the installed dynamometer at Bldg. 4603, Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD. Commissioning shall include a test to demonstrate that after loss of AC power, the drive isolates from the main supply within 100 ms. • The contractor shall provide a minimum of 40 hours of remote technical support within one (1) year of delivery at no additional cost for the purpose of answering questions and providing information necessary to integrate the dynamometer controls and acquisition with Government-provided equipment. Documentation • The Contractor shall provide all software application programs and technical data to the Technical Point of Contact within two (2) weeks of dynamometer delivery. Warranty • The Contractor shall include a minimum of one (1) year warranty and support contract from the date the stand is accepted by the Government. Government Furnished Equipment and Services • Process chilled water at 40-60 °F and 40-80 psig supply is available for cooling • Compressed air is available at 110-130 psig • 120VAC, 208VAC, 277 VAC and 480 VAC electrical service is available Contractor and all associated sub-contractors' employees shall provide all information required for background checks to meet installation access requirements to be accomplished by Provost Marshal Office, Director of Emergency Services or Security Office. Contractor workforce must comply with all personal identity verification requirements (FAR clause 52.204-9, Personal Identity Verification of Contractor Personnel) as directed by DoD, HQDA, and/or local policy.

The following addenda have been attached to this provision: In addition to the requirements set for the in FAR 52.212-1, all offers responding to this solicitation must provide their business size in relation to the NAICS code contained in this solicitation and shall identify any socioeconomic categories to which they belong. II. Evaluation Criteria - The specific evaluation criteria to be used are as follows: The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforms to the solicitation and will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: Technical, Past Performance and Price. The Technical element of the evaluation will first be a determination as to whether the proposed product meets the performance characteristics and specifications in the solicitation. Those offers that meet or exceed the stated performance characteristics and specifications will then be evaluated in terms of technical aspects above the minimum requirements and of those aspects not addressed in the solicitation performance characteristics and specifications that would be most beneficial to the Government. In particular, the Government is willing to trade-off on price for offerors that exceed the following performance characteristics/specifications and/or delivery time: • High dynamic response of the integrated system achieved for example through a low inertia rotor and high response motor drive • Transient overload capability of the integrated stand beyond 110% to up to 150% of motor rated capacity • Highly accurate and stable loading at low end of power range such as the 5-10 kW range The Technical element of the evaluation shall be based solely on information furnished by the vendor. The Government is not responsible for locating or securing any information, which is not identified in the proposal. To ensure sufficient information is available, vendors must furnish as part of their proposal all descriptive material (such as cuts, illustrations, drawings, or other information) necessary for the Government to determine whether the product meets or exceeds the performance characteristics and specifications of the requirement. If the offeror proposes to modify a product so as to conform to the requirement of this solicitation, the offeror shall include a clear description of such proposed modifications and clearly mark any descriptive materials to show modifications. Past performance will be evaluated based on information provided by the offeror as to actual sales of the proposed product to industry or Government agencies. Past performance will consider the ability of the offeror to meet technical specifications, delivery schedules (with warranty fulfillment and maintenance reputation included as applicable). Offerors shall include __3__ records of sales from the previous _36__ months. Offerors shall identify a point of contact for each sale by providing a name and telephone number. Price will be evaluated based on the total proposed price, including options, (if any). Technical and past performance are of equal importance and when combined are significantly more important than price. The Government reserves the right to award to other than the lowest price and to award without discussions. III. Offerors shall include a completed copy of the provision at FAR 52.212-3 (with its Alternate I), Offeror Representations with its offer. IV.
