The Basic is for Qty of 2 each (includes first article), Test Plan (1 LO), and Test Report (1 LO). The 3-1 year Options are based on Qty range of 1-2 each. The reference standard consists of a 0.025" skin bonded to 1.00" aluminum core. It will have a 1.0" recessed hole in the core sheet to represent a disbond. The hole will not allow the core to come into contact with the face sheet during the bonding process.  This will leave a disbond that will represent a non-bond condition. It will establish the calibration of the particular instrument. This requirement will be a set-aside for Small Business.
