- This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. The solicitation is a request for quotation (RFQ). The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-05 and DFARs Change Notice (DCN) 20050901. This acquisition is a small business set-aside. NAICS is 333518 with a small business size standard of 500 employees. Solicitation is for commercial purchase of: 1. Request brand name or equal purchase of Archer S 15 Watt Laser Marking System from RMI Laser Division for use in support of the Aircraft Modification Branch. 2.

This requirement is directed by regulation AFMCI 21-107 and MXOI 21-6, which mandates that tools must be identified in a clear, legible, and permanent manner. Currently the organization has to out source this effort to the commercial sector. This system will also be capable of marking larger gauge wiring and will be used for manufacturing face-plates for Line Replacement Units. 3. RMI is the only source that provides this unique laser based on highly-efficient and industry-proven vanadate (Nd:YVO4) technology. This particular laser efficiently marks shiny metals, such as tools, at lower power settings than the more common CO2 lasers.
