Total Small Business Set-Aside (FAR 19.5)

This is a contract for a laboratory to analyze a sludge sample from a Coast Guard cutter's Main Reduction Gear to determine its composition, provide an opinion on the cause, and recommend a solvent for removal. The final analysis report is due 45 days after the contract award, and all work on the limited sample must be performed within a single facility with no shipping of the sample. The government will provide the sludge sample, unused lubricant, and potential contaminant oils for the analysis.
