The saw must meet specified minimum salient characteristics and include an operation manual, one-year warranty, packaging, shipping, and FOB destination delivery, under a firm-fixed-price purchase order and a 100% small business set-aside. Delivery is required within 90 calendar days of award to the NTSB Office of Research and Engineering, 401 Prince Georges Blvd, Suite F, Upper Marlboro, MD 20774.
