The contract is required to interface to FMB-Oxford hexapods, FMB-Oxford current amplifiers I-400 and F460. This shall be 1-year contract with no options. NIST currently has a contract in place, contract number SB1341-16-SU-0936, for physical modification of NIST SST undulator for NSLS-II the ESRF U42 compatible with the beamline data acquisition and control software (XDAC) to be completed September 25, 2018. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) operated five (5) synchrotron beamline laboratories at the National Synchrotron Light Source (NSLS) located at the Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory. NIST had beamlines at the NSLS until it ceased operation of the beamlines on September 30, 2014. The five beamlines were the U-04A, U07A, U-08B, X-23A2, and X-24A. The acquisition and control software for these beamlines is called X-Ray Data Acquisition and Control Software (XDAC). Starting in fiscal year (FY) 2015, NIST moved its synchrotron operations to NSLSII and is using the XDAC software. NSLS-II is located at Brookhaven National Laboratory. The XDAC software is proprietary software that has been in use by NIST for over ten years. NSLS now require further modifications of the XDAC software. The sole source justification is based on the following: 1)Market research has shown that John Kirkland is the only authorized service provider. John Kirkland is the only source available to provide the required service. 2)The acquisition and control software for these beamlines is called X-Ray Data Acquisition and Control Software (XDAC) is proprietary software to John Kirkland. No other company has the training, necessary data, or parts to perform and updates/interfaces. The resulting purchase order will be a Firm Fixed Price purchase order. The NAICS Code is 334516 with a size standard of 1,000 employees. No solicitation package will be issued. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations; however, interested parties who regard themselves as capable of fulfilling these requirements are invited to submit responses to the Government for consideration. Responses received by 12:00 PM ET on Thursday, September 20, 2018, will be considered by the Government. 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.
