The Statement of Work (SOW) outlines the requirements for delivering rugged laptops, portable scanners, and cameras for Foreign Military Sales (FMS) case AL-B-UBX to Albania. The U.S. Government seeks a contractor to provide eight rugged laptops with specific technical specifications; four portable scanners with high-resolution capabilities; and five cameras with advanced functionalities, all ensuring compliance with military and commercial standards. Additional requirements include marking items for identification, ensuring packaging meets regulatory standards, and performing safety engineering to identify potential hazards associated with the equipment. Security considerations mandate contractor employees to complete antiterrorism training and develop an Operations Security (OPSEC) plan within stipulated timelines. The document emphasizes adherence to military safety standards (MIL-STD) and the importance of proper logistics for international shipments, notably regarding wood packaging. This SOW reflects the government's demand for quality technical equipment while ensuring compliance with safety, operational, and regulatory protocols.
