Solicitation W912NR19Q0011 is a firm-fixed-price contract issued by the Department of Defense for the Louisiana Army National Guard to procure a variety of brand-name musical instruments for the 156th Army Band. The procurement was designated as a total small business set-aside, with the award granted to the lowest priced technically acceptable offer. To ensure pitch consistency, characteristic tones, and the availability of repair parts, the agency limited competition to specific brands, including Powell, Ricco Kuhn, Buffet, Wilson, Selmer Paris, Conn, and Edwards. Technical specifications for the instruments include a preference for silver finishes on Wilson Euphoniums and specific configurations for Edwards trombones, such as BDBN and T-BCN hand slides and 3K carbon fiber cases. The contract also mandates Marcus Bonna MB5 cases for French Horns and Ricco Kuhn Double Horns. Due to factory discontinuations, the agency approved specific substitutions for the Buffet R13 Greenline Clarinet and the Edwards Bass Trombone to meet the operational needs of the band.
