81--SHIPPING AND STO
This opportunity is for the manufacture of specialized aluminum containers requiring engineering source approval, with performance at the contractor's facility. A First Article Test (FAT) is required, with one sample due 120 calendar days after contract award, and the government will notify the contractor of approval or disapproval within 120 days of receipt. The estimated government cost for FAT is $10,000, which will be added to the price for offerors requiring such testing. The contract includes a total small business set-aside and contains detailed technical requirements for welding, sealing, and surface finishing. All costs for shipping the FAT sample to and from the test facility are the contractor's responsibility.
