The contract will run for up to a year and is expected to be awarded in FY 2027.
• Replace/modify the 60‑ton hydraulic press with a system capable of 20,000 lb load testing and 250 psig pneumatic pressure, ±0.002 in measurement accuracy.
• Provide four load cells, control panel display, data‑logging for ≥2,500 test reports, and optional robotic welding integration.
• Must fit within a 180 × 120 in footprint, 115 × 115 in door clearance, and 174 in overhead clearance; foundation equivalent to 6‑in concrete.
