- Description
- The Department of Commerce, National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Phyiscal Measurement Laboratory (PML), Sensor Science Division (SSD) intends to negotiate a Firm Fixed Price Contract, on a sole source basis, under Authority FAR 13.103-1(b)(1), with Newport Corporation of Irvine, CA for the purchase of two (2) High Torque Rotation Stages, under other than full and open competition. The mission of the Sensor Science Division is to develop and provide national measurement standards and services to advance physical science and technology in optical radiation, temperature, pressure, vacuum, flow, and related physical phenomena. The two Rotation Stages required must be 100 percent interchangeable and compatible with 2 existing Newport Controllers, 6 existing Newport motorized translation stages and 4 Newport motorized rotation stages. NIST owns and utilizes all of the existing instruments, which are manufactured by Newport. In addition, NIST has written custom software to allow the controllers to be operated remotely from a PC computer. The use of another manufacturer's instrument would not allow for compatibility of the existing instruments or custom software, in addition, Newports components are proprietary. Newport is the sole manufacturer and distributor of the rotation stages. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition 334516, with a size standard of 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 August 6, 2012 will be considered by the Government.
