The fuel cell will operate on a continuous basis for not less than 100 hours before refueling is required, and will have an expected operating life of at least three (3) years with a minimum of ten (10) cycles (fuel/field use/refuel) per year. The fuel cell is expected to perform within the same environment as the supported test instrumentation. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 335999, Electrochemical generators (i.e. fuel cells) manufacturing. The Small Business Size Standard for this NAICS is 500 employees. The solicitation will be issued for full and open competition.
