TACOM Contracting Center proposes to award a contract to Denton ATD, located in Rochester Hills, MI, on a sole source basis. This contract will be awarded for the retrofit of three (3) existing Anthropomorphic Test Devices (ATDs or Crash Test Dummies) belonging to the Occupant Protection Systems Integration Laboratory (OP SIL). These ATDs are currently configured to operate with a legacy data acquisition system. The OP SIL is updating the existing data acquisition system to a Diversified Technology Services (DTS) SLICE system. As a result of this change, the ATDs currently being used by the OP SIL must be retrofitted to operate with the new SLICE data acquisition system. Contractor will also furnish an additional ATD and one pair of legs.

Under the proposed contract, the contractor will remove the old instrumentation from one (1) existing 50th percentile one (1) existing 5th percentile and one (1) existing 95th percentile ATDs, replace or modify the internal components of the ATDs, install the SLICE instrumentation, and calibrate and certify the ATDs for operation in the OP SIL.
In addition to the above, the contractor will furnish a new Hybrid III (HIII) 50th percentile male ATD and one (1) pair of MIL-LX legs for use in OP SIL Testing. The HIII ATD will be equipped with the same channels as the ATDs being retrofitted. The MIL-LX legs will be equipped with upper and lower tibia load cells and will function with the DTS data acquisition system being acquired by the OP SIL. These items will be calibrated and certified for operation in the OP SIL
