- Description
- National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Acquisition Management Division Notice of Intent for Sole Source Purchase The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Acquisition Management Division, intends to negotiate with Lambda Tex LLC, located in Boulder, Co, on a sole source basis under the authority of FAR Subpart 13.106-1(b), Soliciting from a single source, for providing part-time professional consulting services for a physicist. The unique technical specifications for these physicist services are as follows. The contractor must have as a minimum, extensive experience within the atomic-clock/ion storage community with the elimination of H2 contamination in room-temperature, stainless-steel vacuum chambers; procedures to reduce H2 outgassing rates to below 10-12 mbar-1/(cm2). This is vitally important to the Hg+ experiment because of an unusually large cross-section for chemical reaction between the excited mercury ion and H2. Also, the contractor must have at least 20 years of experience with primary frequency standards. The NAICS Code is 541690 - Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services, with a Small Business Size Standard of $15 million. NIST anticipates negotiating and awarding a firm-fixed-price contract to Lambda Tex LLC. for this requirement. Interested parties who can demonstrate they could satisfy the requirements listed above for NIST must clearly and unambiguously identify their capability to do so in writing on or before the response date for this notice. This notice of intent is not a solicitation. Information submitted in response to this notice will be used solely to determine whether competitive procedures could be used for this acquisition. If competitive procedures are not used it is estimated that an award will be issued by 09/10/2016. Any questions regarding this notice must be submitted in writing via email to aron.krischel@nist.gov. All responses to this notice of intent must be submitted so that they are received at aron.krischel@nist.gov no later than 3:00 pm MST Thursday, August 18, 2016.
