- 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 AS Scientific Products Limited, of Abingdon, Oxon, United Kingdom for the repair of NIST's existing I.L.L. (Institut Max von Laue - Paul Langevin) liquid helium cryostat under other than full and open competition by the authority of FAR subpart 13.106 (b)(1): Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. NIST currently owns several I.L.L. (Institut Max von Laue - Paul Langevin) liquid helium cryostats in its Center for Neutron Research. This type of specialized cryostat was originally designed and developed by the I.L.L. for its own use. The I.L.L. no longer sells or services the cryostats and has designated AS Scientific Products Limited as its sole licensee. As sole licensee, only AS Scientific Products can provide the necessary replacement parts, and only AS Scientific Products technicians have the expertise and training required to make diagnoses and repairs required for I.L.L. cryostats. AS Scientific Products Limited is the only contractor who can provide the cryostat repair services required in order to meet NIST's requirements. Therefore, AS Scientific Products Limited is uniquely qualified to provide the required cryostat repair. Delivery shall be FOB Destination, Gaithersburg, MD, and be completed in accordance with the Contractor's commercial schedule. The North American Industry 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, interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to this requirement. The Government will consider responses received by 3:00 p.m. (EST) on July 11, 2013. Inquiries will only be accepted via email to paula.wilkison@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.
