This RFP is being issued under 100% Small Business Set-Aside. The associated NAICS code 339999 with a small business size standard of 500. NRL has a requirement for a Hydraulic Slip Plate. The final product is considered to be a 2-inch stroke slip table capable of interfacing with a 50,000lbf shaker. The table itself should be able to handle high pitch, and roll moments, and be light in weight to utilize shaker force rating efficiently. An existing table utilizes 9 TEAM hydraulic bearings to accomplish this presently. The Government will conduct a site visit on Thursday, February 27, 2003 EST at the Naval Research Laboratory, 4555 Overlook Ave., S.W., Washington, DC 20375. Contractors shall contact the contract specialist point of contact listed below if they desire to attend the site visit and provide the names for each representative 48 hours prior to site visit date.

Specimen Mounting Holes 3/8-16-thread size located in a 5.5 x 5.5 inch staggered (second row of holes start diagonally 2.75 inch apart) shall be provided on the slip table surface. A drive bar adaptor shall be made of magnesium for its weight savings, and provide a rigid mechanical linkage of the slip plate to the shaker armature. The slip plate shall react to a minimum pitch moment of >12.3 x10^6in-lbs, and react to a minimum roll moment of >12.3 x10^6. The slip table total moving weight shall be approximately 1200lbs or less, for efficient use of shaker force capability. Hydraulic bearings to restrain lateral and vertical motion shall be supplied. The slip plate shall be sealed so that dirt or water cannot contaminate the oil. A recirculating oil system shall be supplied including pump, filter, etc. The slip table shall use a riser base made of heavy steel weldment custom-designed to elevate slip table to correct height and bolt directly to existing steel plate on NRL's seismic mass. The riser base shall not affect the previously stated overturning moments when shaking a 6000lb payload. It shall be possible to operate a UD T5000 shaker at full performance with the shaker locked rigidly to the base and attached to slip table. The slip plate shall be ground flat ? .0005"/ft. The contractor shall install & commission system described to include alignment, securing, fit check to shaker, all service connections, and operational test within 30 days of delivery.
