The specific requirement is for a brand-name Talbert 35CC Lowboy Trailer, which was determined to be the only suitable trailer through market research.

The acquisition will be a Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) purchase order set aside 100% for small business, and the J&A is logged as number JA-25-Inst & Tech-0673.
