- Description
- The Department of Commerce, National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), intends to negotiate a firm-fixed price purchase order, on a sole source basis, with California Institute of Technology, Pasadena CA under other than full and open competition. NIST cites FAR 6.302-1(a)(2) (see excerpt below) as primary rationale for Sole Source Determination. (2) Only one responsible source and no other type of supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. Sole Source determination is based on the following: The proposed contractor's personnel has unique experience with the NIST scattering test facility, having worked with NIST staff to design it, build it, and make initial measurements with it. The contractor has specialized expertise with sub-mm-wave sources, detectors, and experimental techniques in this frequency range, making them uniquely suited to perform the research services. As a result, California Institute of Technology is uniquely qualified to satisfy the Government's minimum requirements. Delivery shall be FOB Destination, Boulder, CO, and be completed by February 2013 The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 611300, and the size standard is $7M. No solicitation package will be issued. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations; however, interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to this requirement. The Government will consider responses received by the response date above. Inquiries will only be accepted via email to leonard.spakow@nist.gov. No telephone requests will be honored. 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 in the future.
