Description
The FDA is seeking a single‑unit, firm‑fixed‑price solution to replace an existing load‑cell transducer on its MTS Mini‑Bionix 858 load frame (model 370.02). The contractor must supply a new load‑cell transducer capable of 0‑N to ± 22 kN force and 0‑Nm to ± 200 Nm torque, fabricate custom top and bottom interface plates, remove the legacy transducer, install the new unit, perform on‑site axial and torque calibrations per ASTM E4‑21 and ASTM E2624‑17, and provide NIST‑traceable certificates, operational verification, and a 12‑month warranty. All travel, fabrication, installation, and calibration costs are to be included in a fixed‑price bid, with delivery and installation required within six weeks of award.
• New load‑cell transducer (±22 kN force, ±200 Nm torque)
• Custom interface‑plate design and fabrication (top plate & bottom adapter)
• On‑site removal, installation, and ASTM‑standard calibrations with NIST‑traceable certificates
• 12‑month full warranty covering parts, labor, travel, and technical support
• Fixed‑price bid due August 31 2026, work to be completed within 6 weeks after award
