- Description
- The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Acquisition Management Division, on behalf of the Materials Science and Engineering Laboratory (Metallurgy Division), intends to negotiate on a sole source basis under authority of FAR 13.106(b)(1), with Newport Corporation, of Irvine, CA for a GTS70 linear stage with 70 mm of travel, and a ESP300-11N111 2-axis controller. This is a follow-on procurement as defined in FAR Part 6.302-1(ii)(A). No other manufacturer has a commercially available system that would be 100 percent compatible with NIST’s existing equipment. Sole Source determination is based on the need to maintain 100 percent plug-in compatible and interchangeable (in terms of both hardware and software) with the existing NIST software for the high-throughput Raman/FTIR scanning systems. The translations stages are used in combination with the controller and software to scan the high pressure chamber with respect to a laser source and detector. The stages need to be able to move a heavy chamber (almost 20 lbs.) over a large scanning area ~30 mm with a micron level precision. The 2-axis controller will allow the measurement of 2-D array combinatorial samples. Newport Corporation is sole manufacturer and distributor of this equipment. Delivery shall be FOB Destination, Gaithersburg, MD, and is required within 30 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 May 23, 2008. 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.
