Iowa State University of Science and Technology (ISU) is soliciting information from qualified Suppliers on behalf of the Mechanical Engineering Department for material testing equipment.

The equipment will be used to simulate gear and bearing failures under electrified lubricated conditions. Depending on test parameters, rolling contact fatigue (RCF) tests will be conducted at different lubricating film thickness levels while simulating failure modes such as micropitting, spalling and white etching cracks.

Suppliers should read all materials carefully and note the due date.


Suppliers must direct all questions and comments in reference to this RFP/RFQ to the University Representative using the QUESTIONS tab via this e-procurement system.
