The pre-solicitation notice indicates a base quantity of 5 units with an option to expand up to 5 additional units, falling under the Motor Vehicle Transmission and Power Train Parts Manufacturing NAICS category (336350). There are no specific set-aside designations for this opportunity, meaning it is open to all qualified manufacturers.
