Purpose/Description
The Government is conducting market research to identify potential sources that possess the data, expertise, capabilities, and experience to meet qualification requirements to design, build, test, and install one (1) robotic laser paint removal system. The Government has determined that these systems are commercial items. Commercial item descriptions, commercial vendor catalog or price lists or commercial manuals assigned a technical manual number apply.
The contractor shall provide all labor, transportation (including travel and per diem), equipment, materials and services to install components as part of this design/build. The work will be performed Robins AFB, Georgia 31098.
Contractors/Institutions responding to this market research are placed on notice that participation in this survey may not ensure participation in future solicitations or contract awards. The government will not reimburse participants for any expenses associated with their participation in this survey.
