Granite Surface Plate Calibration and lapping - with Q&As
Solicitation # W519TC27QA007
Solicitation W519TC27QA007, issued by the Army Contracting Command - Rock Island, seeks an ISO 17025 accredited vendor to provide annual inspection, calibration, and lapping repair for granite surface plates at the Rock Island Arsenal Joint Manufacturing and Technology Center. The requirement is structured as a firm-fixed-price contract consisting of a base year from February 2, 2027, to February 1, 2028, with four subsequent option years, for a total potential duration of five years and six months.
