Solicitation W911S227U0072 is a Request for Quotation issued by the Department of Defense, specifically the W6QM Micc-Ft Drum, for the procurement of a new Valmet FS5 Analyzer and associated accessories. This acquisition is a total small business set-aside and is designated as brand name or equal. The scope of work includes the analyzer for fiber dimension, fines, coarseness, and curl, along with three specific measurement packages covering blend ratio, fibrillation, neural network classifications, and a Valmet Data Modeler license. Additional requirements include a water treatment unit, a manual defibrator, Clean Chem Dexonex 26, and a recommended spare parts kit. The government prefers delivery within 30 days, though a 90-day window is acceptable, and all shipments must be F.O.B. destination. Offerors must submit quotes through the PIEE Solicitation module and include a completed certification of country of origin to comply with Buy American regulations. For those proposing equal products, the government has clarified that deterministic image analysis may replace neural networks for vessel and shive classification, customizable reports may replace separate modeling software, and water treatment or cleaning chemicals may be waived if the alternative technology renders them unnecessary. Award will be granted to the responsible offeror whose technical and price proposal is determined to be most advantageous to the government.
