- Description
- Notice of Intent details including sole source justification and technical requirements. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) intends to negotiate, on a sole source basis, under the authority of FAR 13.106(b)(1), with Mechdyne Corporation for an optical tracking system for a CAVE environment to be used by the NIST Information Technology Laboratory (ITL). ***** Sole source determination is based on the need to procure a wired tracker with a multi-target wireless optical camera that is compatible with NIST's current three projector CAVE environment provided by Mechdyne Corporation. In 2015, Mechdyne was awarded a five-year maintenance contract for this three projector CAVE environment which includes coverage for the wired tracker to be acquired. The maintenance contract only covers equipment supplied by Mechdyne. If the tracker were not procured from Mechdyne, the Government would have to pay additional costs associated with procuring maintenance for the tracker. Acquiring the tracker from any source other than Mechdyne would result in prolonged delays of equipment use. The Government would have to invite vendors onsite at NIST to review the CAVE and develop a solution. NIST would be unable to continue conducting its routine, high-level demos for visitors.
