- Description
- The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) intends to negotiate, on a sole source basis, under authority of 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(1) with JEOL USA, 11 Dearborn RD, Peabody, MA 01960-3862, for the purchase of an upgrade to an existing JEOL 6300 Electron beam Lithography tool. The upgrades required include increasing the system scan rate from the current 12 MHz to a required 50 MHz as well as the addition of an automatic, computer controlled aperture change and adjustment system to replace the manual system currently installed on the system. Sole source determination is based on the NIST requirements as follows: 1. COMPATABILITY: All electrical and mechanical components to be installed as part of this upgrade shall meet the factory design and performance specifications and be fully compatible with the JEOL JBX-6300 system. 2. SOFTWARE INTEGRATION: The control of both the increased scan rate and automatic aperture adjustment mechanism shall blend seamlessly with the existing computer hardware and software systems. As a result, JEOL USA is uniquely qualified to provide the required upgrade. JEOL USA is the sole manufacturer of the equipment which includes unique and proprietary capabilities that are required to satisfy the Government's minimum requirements. Delivery shall be FOB Destination and be completed in accordance with the Contactor's commercial schedule. As defined in the federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), FOB Destination means: The contractor shall pack and mark the shipment in conformance with carrier requirements, deliver the shipment in good order and condition to the point of delivery specified in the purchase order, be responsible for any loss of and/or damage to the goods occurring before receipt and acceptance of the shipment by the consignee at delivery point specified in the purchase order, and pay all charges to the specified point of delivery. The contractor shall deliver all line items to NIST, Gaithersburg, Maryland, 20899-0001. The North American Industrial 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 31 July 2012. 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.
