The U.S. Government intends to purchase on a firm fixed-price basis and issue a sole-source award to Instron under FAR 13.106-1(b); the initial offer should therefore be the vendor’s best price and technically acceptable quote. Interested parties must submit their capabilities and a quote if they want the Government to consider other offers. Required response information includes FOB, shipping cost, CAGE code, small business status, estimated delivery date, and any available pricelist. The Government point of contact is JaNae Lester at the Naval Air Warfare Center AD (PAX), 21983 Bundy Road, BLDG 441, Patuxent River, MD 20670-1127.
