- Description
- The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), intends to negotiate, on a sole source basis, under authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), with Flow Dynamics, of Scottsdale, Arizona for an upgrade to the existing NIST Medium Piston Prover Liquid Hydrocarbon Flow System. The upgrade will include: modifying the medium piston prover system to operate as a single independent flow system; construction of a new frame (or modification to the existing frame) in order to provide room for twin turbine meter runs with necessary approach lengths and exit tubing; stainless steel piping; modification of the pumping system; additional temperature measurement ports, assurance of functionality for all valves and mechanical components; system testing to verify overall operation and ability for calibration; and time and space to validate performance through comparison testing at the manufacturer?s location. ***Sole Source determination is based on the need for the mechanical modifications, repairs, and upgrade to the medium piston prover to have complete compatibility with the hardware and software of the existing NIST Small Piston Prover Liquid Hydrocarbon Flow System previously purchased and upgraded by Flow Dynamics. It is essential that the software and hardware functionality be consistent with the design performance criteria of this system. Flow Dynamics is the original developer and constructor of this equipment and this upgrade would be proprietary. Flow Dynamics is the only known vendor who can upgrade the medium piston prover while maintaining a compatible functional and software interface with the existing system. ***Delivery shall be FOB Destination, Gaithersburg, MD, and is required within 120 days after receipt of order. ***The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 334516, and the size standard is 500 employees. ***No solicitation package will be issued. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations; however, the Government will consider responses received by April 23, 2003. A determination by the Government not 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.
