- The National Institute of Standards & Technology (NIST) seeks vendors that are capable of providing a wavelength dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometer to support NIST measurement efforts of the Inorganic Services Measurement Group. This announcement is not a Request for Proposals or Quotes (RFP/RFQ) and does not commit the Government to award a contract now or in the future. The information contained in this notice is DRAFT only and as such, is subject to change prior to issuance of a solicitation. No solicitation is available at this time. The purpose of this notice is to: 1. identify organizations with the requisite qualifications to meet the requirements of the item stated herein, and 2. solicit candid feedback from industry regarding the attached draft Statement of Objectives as part of a comprehensive review to ensure the final solicitation includes the most appropriate and current methods of meeting NIST's needs while maximizing the efficient expenditure of taxpayer dollars. After results of this market research are obtained and analyzed, NIST may conduct a competitive or non-competitive procurement and subsequently award a contract. If at least two qualified small business sources are identified during this market research stage, this acquisition may be solicited as a small business set aside. NIST is seeking responses from all responsible sources, including large and small businesses (SB, SDB, 8(a), WOSB, HUBZone, SDVOSB and VOSB). This requirement is assigned a NAICS code of 334516 with a Small Business Size Standard of 1,000 employees. Interested business organizations that believe they are capable of meeting the requirements contained in the draft Statement of Objectives should submit responses which include the following information: 1.

A brief discussion of the contractor's capability to complete the requirements of the Statement of Objectives, including project description(s) of any work performed by the contractor of a similar nature as the subject requirement. 3. Any feedback regarding the draft Statement of Objectives, including concerns, potential issues, suggestions, any observed ambiguities, etc. The Government will take any such feedback under advisement when finalizing its Statement of Objectives. The Government makes no commitment to provide answers to questions received, however. 4. Any other relevant information that is not listed above which the Government should consider in developing its specifications and finalizing its market research. Any proprietary information should be so marked. Responses should be submitted to dennis.bailey@nist.gov no later than 9:00 AM Eastern Time on 1/30/2017.
