- 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 Carl Zeiss Microimaging, Inc., of Thornwood, New York, for the acquisition of a Gallium Liquid Metal Ion Source to be used by the Center for Neutron Research (NCNR) at NIST, Gaithersburg, Maryland. This requirement is for one (1) Gallium Liquid Metal Ion Source; with up to three (3) additional units, as Firm-Fixed Priced Options. *****Sole source justification is based on the need for the Ion Source to be compatible with an existing Zeiss NVision 40 Cross Beam FIB/SEM System which is currently under a service agreement. This component is a direct replacement and a critical consumable specifically designed and tested by the Manufacturer. Carl Zeiss Microimaging is the only known vendor capable of supplying the required Ion Source. **** ***Delivery shall be FOB DESTINATION and be completed in accordance with the Contractor’s commercial schedule. *** *** As defined in the Federal Acquisition Regulation, (FAR), FOB Destination means: The contractor shall pack and mark the shipment in conformance with carrier requirements, deliver the shipment in good order and condition to the point of delivery specified in the purchase order, be responsible for any loss of and/or damage to the goods occurring before receipt and acceptance of the shipment by the consignee at the delivery point specified in the purchase order; and pay all charges to the specified point of delivery. The contractor shall deliver all line items to NIST, Gaithersburg, Maryland, 20899-0001. *** *****The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 33516, and the size standard is 500 Employees. ******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.
