NDSU - Dynamic Mechanical Analyzer

North Dakota State University is seeking a qualified vendor to provide a Dynamic Mechanical Analyzer (DMA) for polymer testing research focused on electrically responsive surface textures for autonomous platforms. The instrument will be used in advanced materials research, requiring high precision, reliability, and support for integration with existing lab equipment. Vendors must be registered in NDBuys and submit a bid by the specified deadline. The solicitation includes a technical comparison form and a cost proposal form that bidders must complete. This is a straightforward procurement of a single piece of scientific equipment; no additional services (installation, training, or maintenance) are explicitly requested, but the vendor should be prepared to address any technical questions during the bid period. • Provide a Dynamic Mechanical Analyzer meeting university‑specified performance criteria. • Submit a completed Technical Comparison Form and Cost Proposal Form via NDBuys. • Meet all submission requirements and deadlines; no pre‑bid meeting or site visit was indicated.
