The U.S. Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Aeronautical Systems Center awarded a firm fixed-price purchase order contract for a digital microscope to Government Scientific Source Inc. (GSS), a small business contractor, on September 24, 2020. The contract, valued at $109,602.00, is to deliver a digital microscope for the Life Sciences Equipment Laboratory (LSEL) within the Human Systems Division. The LSEL's reports are critical exhibits used by Air Force Safety Investigation Boards and Accident Investigation Boards, so the microscope must be of high quality and credibility to withstand legal scrutiny. This contract was set aside for small businesses.
