The procurement is a Women-Owned Small Business set-aside, issued as a brand-name RFQ under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), citing the MX908's unique High-Pressure Mass Spectrometry technology as the only handheld chemical detector capable of trace-level opioid and threat detection required for the Counterdrug Program.

The contractor must also provide one on-site operator training course supporting up to ten students, covering system operation, field safety, sample preparation, and maintenance, with training dates coordinated within 30 days of hardware delivery acceptance.
Equipment must be brand new, United States manufactured, and fully Berry Act compliant. The NAICS code is 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing); size standard is 1,250 employees.
