- Description
- This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with FAR 12.6, Streamlined Procedures for Commercial Items, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotes are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued.

The solicitation number is HSFE20-13-Q-0073. The solicitation is issued as a request for quotation (RFQ). Provisions and clauses in effect through the most recent Federal Acquisition Circular are incorporated. It is the contractor's responsibility to be familiar with the applicable clauses and provisions. The clauses may be accessed in full text at these addresses: www.acqnet.gov/far and www.acq.osd.mil/dpap/dfars/index.htm. The NAICS code is 334516, with a size standard of 500 employees.

MultiRAE is the most widely used portable chemical detector on the market, and use of this equipment provides the greatest benefit to the students in a hands on training environment; and B) Utilization of a different brand would require significant revisions to the above training programs, which would be an additional significant cost to the Government.
