    Brief

    Procurement opportunity for a full-scale thermal manikin (human-form thermal dummy) to be used for: (1) measuring the insulation properties and thermal performance of clothing and protective garments; (2) evaluating thermal environments within vehicles to assess heating and cooling system effectiveness; and (3) studying thermal conditions in buildings to optimize climate control and comfort. The manikin should be capable of simulating human heat dissipation and thermal response. Qualified suppliers should have experience manufacturing or supplying thermal manikins that meet industry standards for thermal testing and environmental simulation.
