MTS Actuator Instron Rebuild and Grips

NASA Langley Research Center requires a sole‑source procurement to repair two inoperable test stands in its Materials Research Laboratory. The work is split into two contracts: (1) delivery, installation, and commissioning of a 500 kN hydraulic grip system with associated fixtures and control hardware; and (2) supply, integration, and two‑day on‑site installation of a 22 kip (100 kN) MTS hydraulic actuator to retrofit an existing Instron 1332 load frame, including necessary manifolds, power supplies, and spare parts. All equipment must be shipped to NASA Langley, installed, and commissioned within a six‑month performance period. The effort includes field service engineering, mechanical mounting, hydraulic integration, and testing.
