- Description
- Notice Type: Notice of Intent - Sole Source The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Acquisition Management Division, on behalf of the NIST Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology, intends to negotiate with Coventor, Inc.; Cary, NC, on a sole source basis under the authority of FAR Subpart 13.106-1 (b), Soliciting from a Single Source, to provide the services described below. Background: The Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology has been using CoventorWare Analyzer over the last year and has generated a significant amount of modeling data with it. Market research shows that no other software package is compatible with this data. Therefore, by not renewing the license and purchasing different software instead, NIST would not be able to access results obtained over the past year. All work done using this software would be lost. Additionally, NIST collaborates with a group at Argonne National Labs, which also uses this software. NIST would not be able to share models and results with them if it used a different package that is incompatible with CoventorWare. NIST intends to procure annual maintenance for CoventorWare Analyzer, to include all upgrades, technical support, and electronic documentation. Recent market research conducted by NIST shows that Coventor, Inc. is the only authorized provider of this maintenance in the United States. The NAICS Code is 511210. NIST anticipates negotiating and awarding a firm-fixed-price purchase order to Coventor, Inc. for this requirement. Interested parties that believe they could satisfy the requirements listed above for NIST and are authorized by Coventor, Inc.to provide these services may clearly and unambiguously identify their capability to do so in writing on or before July 2, 2010 at 12 pm EST. This notice of intent is not a solicitation. Information submitted in response to this notice will be used solely to determine whether competitive procedures could be used for this acquisition. Any questions regarding this notice must be submitted in writing via email to Divya Soni at divya.soni@nist.gov.
