The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD), Lakehurst in support of the Prototype, Manufacturing, and Test Division is seeking sources that can provide a Vibration System for the Environmental Test Laboratory. One vibration machine capable of performing (at the minimum) MIL-STD-810H, methods 514.8, 516.8, and 528.1, and MIL-PRF-28800F with specific requirements listed: MIL-STD-810 Rev H Method 514.8 – Vibration Procedure I MIL-STD-810 Rev H Method 516.8 – Shock Procedures I and II MIL-STD-810 Rev H Method 528.1 – Mechanical Vibrations of Shipboard Equipment Procedure I MIL-PRF-28800 Rev F 3.8.4 Vibration 3.8.5.1 Shock, functional Minimum 1500mm x 1500mm (5’ x 5’) slip table Minimum 1500mm x 1500mm (5’ x 5’) vertical head expander Minimum 18,000 Lbf Peak force Full machine performance from 4 – 3,000 Hz frequency range in 3-axis (x, y, and z) Machine to support up to 1500lbs of test equipment Vibrator and slip table shall fit on preexisting isolated concrete pad, dimensions 168” x 216” Total vertical dimension cannot exceed 205” Machine can be air or water-cooled. If air cooled, variable speed is preferred. Modular amplifiers Inductive armature recentering – non-optical, non-contacting that requires no readjustment. Machine able to be controllable via Vibration Research VR9500 vibration controllers using +/- 10V BNC connection. Power available for machine is 60 Hz 480V - 3 phase and 60 Hz 120V – 1 phase. Compressed air available for machine up to 120 PSI. Any additional software for operation is included with purchase and must be compatible with Windows 10 Operating System First fluids filling, if applicable, must be included with overall machine cost On-Site training for equipment operation and maintenance for four people. Warranty covering parts and labor for a minimum of 2 years Hard/printed copies of user / maintenance manuals, detailed parts list with suppliers, and electrical / mechanical schematic for machine, 2 copies of each Digital copies of user / maintenance manuals, detailed parts list with suppliers, and electrical / mechanical schematic for machine CAD files for electrical / mechanical schematic Delivery, rigging, and installation and setup of machine must be included using contractor tools and labor. This includes any crane support, forklift support, leveling / shimming, packaging storage, dunnage, and final connection to utilities that we will provide within 20 ft of the installation location. Machine must fit through a 138” Wide x 136” Tall roll up door (can be disassembled / reassembled if required). If modification to the foundation is required for the machine, specs for the required modifications need to be provided to us so we may construct foundation appropriately ahead of time This RFI is to determine whether there are any contractors capable of supplying the Vibration System.
