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. Minimal Essential Characteristics [MEC's] for Laser-Doppler Vibrometer for Hearing Measurements The US Army requires a laser-Doppler Vibrometer to conduct its FY14-16 quote mark Assessment of the Middle-ear quote mark. This equipment must be safe for use with human volunteers. It will be used to examine the response of the middle ear musculature (affecting the tympanic membrane) to acoustic impulses.
