The period of performance for the contract is September 01, 2008 through August 31, 2009. The attached draft equipment schedule provides specific support requirements, equipment part numbers, descriptions and serial numbers.
The FAA anticipates that this contract will be awarded as an 8(a) certified business set-aside.

The NAICS code for this requirement is 811212, Computer and Office Machine Repair and Maintenance, with a small business size standard of $23 million.
