- Description
- This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR 12.6 as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation and a separate written solicitation will not be issued. This solicitation number is NICHD-16-068 and is issued as a Request for Quotation (RFQ). The solicitation /contract will include all applicable provisions and clauses in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-87. The North American Industry Classification (NAICS) Code is 334516 with a size standard of 500. This acquisition is being conducted using Simplified Acquisition Procedures in accordance with FAR Part 13. The National Institutes of Health (NIH), Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) has a requirement to procure service for repair or replacement of a custom Extended Interaction Oscillator. In 2012, the Solid State NMR and Biomolecular Physics Section of NIDDK purchased a custom-built Extended Interaction Oscillator (EIO) from Communications & Power Industries (CPI). This custom EIO (part number VKY2432, serial number E1226J2) was designed and built by CPI as their first EIO with output at this frequency (264 GHz), and we believe the first EIO at this frequency in the world. After using the EIO successfully from 2012 to 2016, in March 2016, we discovered that the cooling water flow was restricted from clogging in the device. In addition, during shipping the device back to CPI for evaluation, the vacuum seal was broken. Only CPI can repair or replace this custom EIO. The EIO needs to interface with the high voltage power supply (also from CPI) and the water chiller, both of which were previously purchased by NIDDK with the original EIO. The EIO also needs to be compatible with the current laboratory space and microwave transmission setup. The offeror must include a completed copy of the following provisions: 1) FAR Clause 52.212-1 Instructions to Offerors - Commercial items; 2) FAR Clause 52.212-2, Evaluation - Commercial Items.
