The list of supplies and estimated quantities can be found on “Attachment 1 – Schedule of Supplies – 70Z03824QJ0000325.”

Only the items requested in this solicitation will be considered for award. All parts shall have clear traceability to the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), Fatigue Technology, Inc.
