Changing to another manufacturer will result in having to completely stop current methodologies of testing to validate /correlate the new system and new consumables.

The intended procurement will be classified under North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) 423450 with a Small Business Size Standard of 100 employees.

All capability statements received within 1 day after publication of this synopsis will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
