- Description
- The Acquisition Management Division (AMD) of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), on behalf of the Electromagnetics Division, intends to negotiate a soles source modification to Contract Number SB1341-07-SU-0923 with Praxair Distribution Mid-Atlantic of Newark, NJ, to supply liquid helium. The NIST/Electromagnetics Division, has a requirement for Liquid Helium for the initial cool down and testing of a new MRI magnet. This is a one-time purchase for a closed loop cooling pump system to maintain cooling for 12 months. The system will need to be recharged but will require less liquid helium since it will already be cold. This purchase is critical to the mission at NIST in order to meet research commitments dependent of the operation of this MRI system. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS: TYPE: Liquid Helium TOTAL QUANTITY: 3500 Liter UNIT SIZE: 250 or 500 liter Dewar ideally DELIVERY ADDRESS: NIST, 325 Broadway, Boulder, CO 80305 This authority for this modification is 41 USC 253(c)(1) Only One Responsible Source.
