- 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 Bruker Biospin Corporation, Billerica, Massachusetts, for the purchase of a used Bruker Biospin 600 MHz (14.098 Tesla) Superconducting Magnet, with a 5.4 cm room temperature bore and an actively shielded magnet design, in exchange and as an upgrade, for a Bruker Biospin 600 MHz Non-shielded Magnet that is part of an existing Bruker Biospin AVANCE 600 MHz NMR Spectrometer at NIST, Gaithersburg, MD. Sole Source determination is based on the following: The NIST-owned Bruker Biospin ADVANCE 600 MHz NMR Spectrometer requires an upgrade to the Bruker Biospin 600 MHz Non-shielded Magnet. Bruker BioSpin Coporation is the only vendor that can provide a used Bruker Biopsin 600 MHz (15.098 Tesla) superconducting magnet system with a 5.4 cm room temperature bore and an actively shielded magnet design that is an exact physical match in terms of height, weight, and dimensions to the magnet it will replace and therefore be 100% hardware compatible with the other components of the existing Bruker BioSpin AVANCE 600 MHz NMR spectrometer system operating at NIST. In addition, Brukder BioSpin Corporation is the only vendor that can provide a used Bruker Biospin 600 MHz (14.098 Tesla) superconducting magnet that will be 100% compatible with the Bruker Room Temperature Shim Stack and Bruker Sample Transport components of the existing spectrometer system, as well as the Bruker Biospin Cryoprobe/Cryoplatform accessory that is currently in operation on the NIST-owned system. Based on the above Bruker BioSpin Corporation is the only vendor capable of providing the required used Bruker Biospin 600 MHz (14.098 Tesla) Superconducting Magnet upgrade to a NIST-owned Bruker Biospin ADVANCE 600 MHz NMR Spectrometer in order to satisfy the Government's minimum requirements. Bruker BioSpin Corporation is the sole manufacturer and distributor. 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 September 16, 2011, 3:30 p.m. EST. 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.
