The market survey indicates a requirement for 12 units with a 100% option for an additional 24 units, totaling a potential maximum of 36 units. The agency plans to award a Firm Fixed Price Contract and is particularly interested in understanding commercial market availability and pricing for this specialized navigation equipment. The procurement falls under NAICS code 334511 for Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing, reflecting the technical complexity of the required items.
