The estimated value is implied to be over $900,000.
Purpose & Scope
This document justifies the non-competitive acquisition of "Shade, Special" under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1). The requirement is for an estimated annual quantity (EAQ) of 80 units, totaling 240 units over the three-year contract period. The place of performance is Fort Walton Beach, FL.

- Estimated Quantity: 80 EAQ (240 total for 3 years)
