Business Size Standard of 1250 employees.

DESCRIPTION: This solicitation is for the delivery of scientific radiometer instruments with spectral responses from visible to near infrared (NIR) which will form a part of a complete multi-spectral system. Radiometers will be purchased within two (2) spectral response categories utilizing an IDIQ (Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite quantity) contract. The Government intends to award one (1) firm-fixed-price (FFP) IDIQ contract and one delivery order from that basic contract, resulting from this solicitation to the responsible quoters whose quote, conforming to the solicitation, is both the lowest price and technically acceptable (LPTA). This instrumentation shall be based on a commercially available product. The IDIQ contract will have an ordering period of four (4) years. A minimum of one (1) instrument will be purchased. The cumulative value of all orders under this IDIQ contract shall not exceed $2 million. The radiometers will form a subsystem for a mobile capability for gathering electromagnetic radiation signatures of various test articles. This project is the Full Operating Capability (FOC) phase of the Initial Operating

Capability (IOC) project completed in FY16 (AEDC Project 14014). The Joint Standard

Instrumentation Suite (JSIS) FOC system will record the electromagnetic signatures in 8 wavelength band-passes ranging from ultraviolet (UV) to long-wave infra-red, and data in each band-pass will be recorded with an imager and a radiometer. The data from the JSIS system will be used to create accurate simulations of the test articles. This procurement is for the Visible and near infra-red radiometer bands. Due to the uncertainty of test scheduling, each radiometer order will have varying quantities.

SET-ASIDE: This acquisition is a competitive total small business set-aside open to eligible small business companies.

BASIS FOR AWARD: The Government will award a single firm-fixed-priced (FFP) indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) and delivery order (DO) contract resulting from this request. The award will go to the responsible quoter, whose quote conforming to the solicitation, will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The prices quoted will be used to establish the basic IDIQ ordering prices, as well as the price for DO 01, which will be awarded at the same time as the basic IDIQ contract. FAR 52.212-2 Evaluation-Commercial Items shall apply to this solicitation, please reference the attached documents, specifically attachment 3, Evaluation

Plan, for complete details on the evaluation. The Government intends to make the award without discussions.
