- Description
- This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for a commercial item prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. The solicitation number is M67854-05-R-3035 and is being issued as a request for proposal (RFP). The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 2001-27. The NAICS code is 423910 and the small business size standard is 100 employees. The requirement is for a Cold Weather Hydration Set, which is both Berry Act (10 USC 2533a) and Buy American Act (41 USC 10a-10d) compliant.

Note: The end product for this procurement is considered to be the compl! ete set (see below). Offers will be considered that are not Buy American Act compliant.
