What the buyer is looking for

Supply - Procurement of an optical measurement system for volumetric, time-resolved fluid and structural measurements in water Delivery Capacity - Procurement of an optical measurement system for volumetric, time-resolved fluid and structural measurements in water · For research purposes, Technische Universität Berlin (TU Berlin, the client/AG) plans to procure an optical measurement system for volumetric, time-resolved measurements of velocity fields and structural deformations in water. Two-dimensional measurement data must be derived from the time-resolved volumetric velocity fields. In addition, the system must be able to record the dynamics of collapsing cavitation bubbles in a time-resolved manner and to visually record and statistically evaluate macroscopic cavitation. The measuring system should consist of at least four high-speed cameras including a Scheimpflugadapter and at…

… least one high-performance LED for volume illumination. Furthermore, the overall system must include the hardware (computer) necessary for operation and data evaluation, including the necessary measurement and evaluation software. The modular system must be designed in such a way that the cameras can be placed individually to detect the desired measurement volume. The system should be expandable by hardware and software at any time. / Technische Universität Berlin (TU Berlin) intends to procure, for research purposes, an optical measurement system for volumetric, time-resolved velocity field and structural deformation measurements in water. The measurement system must be capable of capturing time-resolved volumetric velocity fields, from which two-dimensional velocity field can be derived. Furthermore, the system must be able to capture the dynamics of collapsing cavitation bubbles in a time-resolved manner, as well as optically capture macroscopic cavitation and evaluate them statistically. The measurement system consists of at least four high-speed cameras including Scheimpflug adapters, as well as at least a high-power LED for volume illumination. In addition, the overall system must include the hardware required for operation and data evaluation, as well as the necessary measurement and evaluation software. The modular system must be designed such that the cameras can be individually positioned to capture the desired measurement volume. The system shall be expandable at any time through additional hardware and software.

Tactics

When this buyer has awarded in this sector, there was usually a single bid in the end. A solid bid has a real chance here. (Based on 21 completed awards — not a statement about this procedure.)

This procedure allows 30 days between publication and deadline — typical in this country is 32 (median of 20,496 procedures). A normal window for this market.

Foreign bidders

In Germany · Laboratory & optical equipment, 578 contracts went to foreign companies over the last 3 years (of 12,560 recorded awards) — mostly from France, Netherlands, United Kingdom.

Submission language: German, English.

Measured from linked award data; foreign winners bidding through a local subsidiary count as domestic — the true share is higher.
