- 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 IMT North America of West Wyoming, Pennsylvania for the purchase of Zerodur Grid Plate with Reflective Chrome under other than full and open competition by the authority of FAR subpart 13.106(1)(b)(1)(i). The Dimensional Metrology Group (DMG) of NIST's Physical Measurement Laboratory (PML), through its technology transfer effort, entered into an agreement with the U.S. Air Force Metrology and Calibration (AFMETCAL) Program to integrate the same vision system and measurement procedures on their coordinate measuring machine as NIST's PML has on its coordinate measuring machine so that AFMETCAL can provide critical services to the secondary Air Force laboratories they support. The Air Force has specified in the Statement of Work (Project CCG584-FY15 Computer Vision System for CMM owned by AFMETCAL) the use of this particular grid plate and plate manufacturer (IMT Zerodur Grid Plate with Reflective Chrome), in order to integrate the same vision system and measurement procedures used by NIST's coordinate measuring machine. This item (grid plate) is a critical part of this project and without it the project cannot be completed. IMT is the only contractor that can provide the required Zerodur Grid Plate with Reflective Chrome. Therefore, IMT is uniquely qualified to provide the Zerodur Grid Plate with Reflective Chrome. Delivery shall be FOB Destination, Gaithersburg, MD, and be completed in accordance with the Contractor's commercial schedule. This requirement is expected to be awarded in January, 2015. 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 January 21, 2015. 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.
