- Description
- SB1341-16-RQ-0424 The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Engineering Laboratory (EL) intends to negotiate, on a sole source basis, under authority of FAR 6.302-1, with OEwaves, for the acquisition of a Custom Packaged Whispering-Gallery Mode (WGM) Micro-Optical Resonator Cavity. ***** Sole source determination for this procurement is based on the need to purchase a custom packaged resonator cavity, in which all expansive control electronics are included, meaning that it becomes a complete system. The required WGM High-Q micro-cavity will offer unmatched overall performance and exhibit unique cavity characteristics in a small form factor that opens up a variety of new research possibilities and capabilities for the NIST EL. As such, this requirement can only be satisfied by purchasing a custom packaged WGM micro-resonator cavity made of calcium fluoride, from OEwaves, the only company identified which can provide such special items requested. OEwaves has been identified in the market research as the company that exclusively manufactures this technology. No distributors or re-sellers have been identified. *****The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 334515 - Instrument manufacturing for measuring and testing electricity and electrical signals, with a small business size 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 normally 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 May 26, 2016, 12:00 p.m., EST. will be considered by the Government.
