The contract opportunity is not designated with a specific set-aside and will be open to all qualified vendors. The place of performance is located in Batavia, IL 60510, which is the site of the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. While specific award value is not explicitly stated, the procurement appears to be for a single unit of specialized scientific equipment.
