- Description
- The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Acquisition Management Division, on behalf of the Surface and Microanalysis Science Division within the NIST Chemical Service and Technology Division Laboratory (CSTL), intends to negotiate on a sole source basis under the authority of 41 USC 253 (c)(1), with FEI Company of Hillsboro, OR, for an upgrade package to NIST?s existing Aberration-Corrected, Monochromated Analytical Electron Microscope, FEI Company Model Titan 80-300. The Analytical Spectroscopy and Tomography Upgrade Package includes the following components: Qty 1 each FEI Part #FP 5480/36 Inspect3D Xpress Qty 2 each FEI Part #FP 5480/37 Inspect3D Additional License Qty 1 each FEI Part #FP 5480/10 STEM Tomography Data Acquisition Software Qty 1 each FEI Part #FP 5320/10 19 inch Accessory Cabinet 33U Qty 1 each FEI Part #FP 5404/10 Energy Filter Embedding Qty 1 each FEI Part #FP 5410/00 EFTEM EELS module Qty 1 each FEI Part #9432 900 40911 Retrofit Gatan Tridiem 865 on Titan Qty 1 each FEI Part #9432 900 40912 Retrofit Tomography for Titan Qty 1 each FEI Part #9432 909 97111 Gatan GIF installation and training. The purpose of the upgrade package is to provide new functionality, specifically the ability to perform electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS), energy-filtered transmission electron microscopy (EFTEM), and tomographic 3D reconstruction of nanoscale samples. The equipment above is commercially available as an upgrade package for NIST?s existing Titan 80-300. This upgrade will allow NIST to extend its work on nanoscale chemical characterization in 3 dimensions. Only FEI Company can provide this equipment. The equipment has been developed and manufactured by FEI. FEI has proprietary rights to the technology and is the sole distributor of this equipment. 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, responses received by April 6, 2007, will be considered by the Government.
