- 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 Lakeshore Cryotronics of Westerville, OH, for the acquisition of temperature controllers needed by the Center for Neutron Research (NCNR) at NIST. Background Information: The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Center for Neutron Research (NCNR) is a user facility providing neutron scattering measurement capability that is among the best in the world. Approximately 1,000 guest researchers from around the world visit the facility every year, placing a great emphasis on the reliability of the systems used. An important part of the instrumentation required to perform a successful experiment is the sample environment equipment, which controls the temperature, pressure, magnetic field, etc. of the sample under study. This equipment must be continually updated or expanded based on the needs of the scientific user community. Sole Source determination is based on the need to replenish the existing stock of Lakeshore model 340 temperature controllers manufactured by Lakeshore Cryotronics. The controllers will be used to control a number of different cryostats, closed-cycle refrigerators, and other cryogenics apparatus offered to the neutron scattering community along with ancillary adapter cards to these controllers. Lakeshore is the only vendor capable in providing the required controllers. *****The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 334516, and the size standard is 500 Employees. ******A determination by the Government whether to compete the proposed acquisition based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. *****No solicitation package will be issued. This notice of intent is not a request for quotations. However, responses received by April 15, 2012 12:00 p.m., EST will be considered by the Government.
