NASA Sole Source Procurement for MTS Actuator Instron Rebuild, Grips, and Retrofit Services

NASA Langley Research Center is seeking a sole source procurement for the rebuild and upgrade of an MTS Actuator Instron system, including installation of new hydraulic grips and fixtures. - The procurement is for commercial items under NAICS code 811210, with performance at NASA Langley. - MTS Systems Corporation is the sole source vendor, as the equipment and components are OEM-specific. - Key products requested: - Hydraulic wedge grip set (Model 647.50) and wedge set (Part Numbers: 47595505, 48966304) - Hydraulic grip supply/controller (Model 685.10E-05, Part Number: 57509601) - Attachment kits for actuator and load cell (Part Numbers: 52101049, 52101051) - MTS Model 244.22 actuator assembly (22 kip/100 kN capacity) - Proportional hydraulic service manifold (Model 299.12) - Low flow power supply - Seal kit for actuator (spare parts) - Services include onsite installation and commissioning of grips and a two-day actuator retrofit service. - The period of performance is 6 months after receipt of order (ARO). - The procurement is sole source due to technical compatibility and OEM requirements. - Competing products could include similar actuator and grip systems from Instron, ZwickRoell, or Shimadzu, but only MTS equipment is specified. - Estimated contract value is likely in the $100,000 to $250,000 range, based on scope and equipment.
