Description

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Research and Development Center (ERDC), Geotechnical and Structures Laboratory (GSL) intends to issue a sole source award to MTS Systems Corporation (CAGE Code: 34145) to procure an environmental chamber for its MTS fatigue frame and one pair of connecting extension rods to allow for testing of samples immersed in a water bath. Specifics of requirements are as follows: QTY: 1- Bionix EnviroBath compatible with existing MTS fatigue Frame, the environmental chamber must be able to cycle 10L of water with chloride levels of up to 3.5% during fatigue testing, and QTY: 1- One Pair of Connecting Extension Rods. The required work is part of an effort being conducted by ERDC to ensure that hydropower turbine design standards accurately reflect the fatigue and corrosion resistance of newer steels utilized in the construction of hydropower plant turbines. In support of these efforts, the GSL requires materials developed from the same process and standards of materials from which the turbines are manufactured. Thus, an MTS Bionix Envirobath 10L environmental chamber that is compatible with the ERDC-s current MTS fatigue frame is required. The MTS Bionix Envirobath 10L is a unique product that adds functionality to the ERDC-s existing fatigue frame and is only manufactured and provided by MTS Systems Corporation. No other product will meet the government-s specific requirement.Therefore, the Government intends to award a Firm-Fixed price contract to MTS Systems Corporation in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i). MTS Systems Corporation is a large business concern under the applicable NAICS code 334513, Instruments and Related Products Manufacturing for Measuring, Displaying, and Controlling Industrial Process Variables, with a size standard of 750 employees. This notice of intent is for information purposes only.
