Summary

The USAFA Low Load and 500lb Force Balances opportunity involves the procurement of specialized aerodynamic force and moment measurement equipment for the Trisonic Wind Tunnel (TWT) at the U.S. Air Force Academy. The requirement is for two force balances that must meet specific technical specifications, including the ability to measure various forces and moments under high dynamic pressures. The Air Force Academy intends to award a Purchase Order on a sole source basis to AERO RESEARCH INSTRUMENTS, INC, as they are the only known vendor capable of providing the necessary equipment that meets the unique specifications required for compatibility with existing systems. Contractors with expertise in analytical laboratory instrument manufacturing, particularly those who can provide customized solutions for wind tunnel testing, are encouraged to consider this opportunity, although it is primarily aimed at a single source.
