What this contract is for

Agency: HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES, DEPARTMENT OF / CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION
Location: Pittsburgh, PA
NAICS: 334516
Scope: Federal

The purpose of this acquisition is to obtain the specialized laboratory equipment necessary to support PMRD’s ongoing rock?mechanics and ground?control research by ensuring the consistent preparation and testing of geological specimens aligned with rock preparations and testing standards.

This includes acquiring a complete rock?specimen cutting system capable of producing accurate, repeatable cuts on rock, coal, concrete, asphalt, and core samples; a computerized grinding machine that will significantly reduce specimen preparation labor while supporting major research projects such as seismic potential forecasting and panel?well optimization; a creep test apparatus to provide essential time?dependent rock?property data for numerical modeling in coal and stone mines; and a triaxial testing machine required to determine cohesion and friction angle parameters for specimens collected from mine sites.

Together, these systems will improve specimen quality, enhance laboratory efficiency, reduce the costs and delays associated with external testing, and provide high?quality mechanical data needed to support advanced modeling, pillar?design evaluations, roof?stability assessments, and the development of comprehensive databases for U.S. coal and stone mines.

All equipment will be delivered to the Pittsburgh Mining Research Division facility within the established period of performance, ensuring PMRD has the necessary capabilities to meet current and future research demands.

How to bid on this

This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.

Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
This listing has no set-aside restriction ("full and open competition"), meaning any business, large or small, can bid.
Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
