Specific requirements include: The Air Force requires an upgrade to a Lehighton model 1510EB Contactless Resistivity Mapping tool to extend the lower measurement range of the instrument to 0.032 ohms/square. This upgrade consists of adding LO and XLO hardware components to the measurement probe, which is presently only set up for the HI range. Following the upgrade the tool must be compatible with and be operated by the LEI Runtest software program. The measurements shall be demonstrated by the tool meeting the following standard deviation specifications at the given sheet resistances following the upgrade of the measurement range of the tool: Sheet Resistance Standard Deviation 16 ohm/square 0.1% 1.6 ohm/square 0.2% 0.16 ohm/square 0.25% 0.032 ohm/square 0.55% The 1510EB tool must maintain all present measurement capabilities and specifications with no degradation in performance as a result of the upgrade. All interested firms shall submit a response demonstrating their capabilities to produce the requested equipment to the Primary Point of Contact listed below. As stipulated in FAR 15.201, responses to this notice are not considered offers and cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract. No solicitation exists; therefore, do not request a copy of the solicitation. The decision to solicit for a contract shall be solely within the Government's discretion. Firms responding should indicate whether they are, or are not, a small business, a socially and economically disadvantaged business, or a woman owned business.

NAICS Code to be used for this acquisition is 334513. The Government reserves the right to consider a small business set-aside based upon responses hereto for any subsequent acquisition. Respondents are further requested to indicate their status as a Foreign-owned/Foreign-controlled firm and any contemplated use of foreign national employees on this effort.
