NSWCCD TA Instruments Discovery DMA 850

The Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division (NSWCCD) is issuing a sole‑source, firm‑fixed‑price purchase order for one TA Instruments Discovery DMA 850 dynamic mechanical analyzer, including furnace, gas‑cooling accessory, clamps, software (TRIOS) and related accessories.
