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 the University of Akron, in Akron, OH for ongoing research on standards and measurements of targeted nano particle delivery systems (NDS). Services may be deemed to be available only from the original source in the case of a follow-on. Sole source determination is based on the need for continuing ongoing research to be provided. The University of Akron has been working directly with NIST on previous efforts for the development of high speed quantative analysis and quantative modeling capabilities that can be used on a variety of NIST optical instruments and is therefore, uniquely qualified to perform the necessary measurement tasks required to complete the ongoing research NIST requires. To introduce a new Contractor into this ongoing research project would result in substantial duplication of costs to the Government that would not be recovered through competition and would adversely impact the progress of this project. Approximately six months of a new Contractors time would be spent on becoming familiar with specific sample preparation, measurement, and data analysis methods at the expense of completing the tasks required for the ongoing research. Delivery shall be FOB Destination, Gaithersburg, MD, and is required within one year from award of a purchase order. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 541712, 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 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 competitive quotations. However, responses received by July 30, 2012 shall be considered by the Government.
