FEI Company does not allow other companies to provide such a service. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 334411, and the size standard is 750. No solicitation package will be issued. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations, however, responses received by April 28, 2006 will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government whether to compete the proposed acquisition based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
