- Technical Performance Requirements The United States Air Force, AFLCMC/Operational Contracting Division, Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio 45433-5344. This is a Sole Source synopsis published for informational purposes only. This proposed action is for the procurement of an Optical light microscope. The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 13.106 (b)(1). This proposed procurement will be a Sole Source under North American Industry Classification System Code (NAICS) 334516, Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing. Size standard is 500 employees. The proposed source is Carl Zeiss Microscopy, LLC, 1 Zeiss Drive, Thornwood, NY 10594-1939. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations. However, all responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, quotation or exception to the intent to purchase on a sole source basis, which shall be considered by the Government if received by Wednesday 13 January 2016 by 4:00 P.M. EST of this notice and meet all the requirements per attachment 1, Technical performance requirements for Optical Microscope system. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. In order to comply with FAR 5.207(c)(15), the reason for lack of competition is as follows: The Government requires an optical (light) microscope to be used in a robotic automation cell for unattended, unsupervised collection of metallographic image data. This acquisition is a user-programmable and scriptable, fully-motorized optical microscopy system, outfitted with bright field and multiple orientation cross-polarized optics, hardware auto-focus, and multiple wavelength light imaging to characterized aerospace materials and ceramic and organic matrix composites, in support of the LEROY II 3D system. Based on market research, the only company who can meet the technical requirements is Carl Zeiss Microscopy, LLC. The Department of Defense (DoD) has determined the System for Award Management (SAM) to be the single DoD registration for contractors who conduct business or who are interested in conducting business with the DoD. Contractors must be registered in SAM prior to award for solicitations issued after 29 May 2012. You may contact SAM at 866-606-8220.
