DO18 Rolling Chassis Race Car

Clemson University’s CU‑ICAR facility is procuring a rolling chassis for an autonomous, closed‑wheel race car that will serve as the platform for the Deep Orange 18 educational vehicle prototype. The university seeks qualified vendors to design, fabricate, and deliver a complete chassis that meets specified performance, safety, and integration requirements for an autonomous research vehicle. This is a single‑source procurement focused on a specialized automotive‑engineering deliverable, with delivery expected before the academic semester’s start. • Provide a complete rolling chassis (frame, suspension, steering, braking, and integration points) for an autonomous race car. • Ensure compliance with university safety standards and compatibility with autonomous sensor suites. • Deliver the chassis by the submission deadline (mid‑November) for testing and integration during the spring semester.
