- Description
- Notice of Intent: The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), intends to negotiate, a firm fixed price purchase order, on a sole source basis, with Chimera Instruments LLC, 511 Avenue of the Americas #267, New York, NY. For the purchase of a Chimera VC100 high-bandwidth amplifier. It can ONLY be obtained directly from the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) Chimera Instruments. This will be other than full and open competition, under authority of FAR 13.106-1(b) (1). Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. Dynamic fluctuations of DNA and the passage time of DNA through nanopores occurs at frequencies greater than 100kHz, which is the limit of all commercial amplifier systems except the Chimera VC100. The additional information between 100 kHz and 1 MHz will greatly improve both efficiency and data content in these nanopore.� Chimera Instruments LLC is the only source able to provide the required Chimera Instrument VC100 high-bandwidth amplifier for voltage-clamp measurements of ionic current flow through solid-state nanopores formed by dielectric breakdown. The system will be used to study structural dynamics of viral DNA under confinement to better understand the dynamics of DNA as it relates to viral DNA packing and DNA nanostructure fabrication. This is proprietary and is only available from Chimera Instruments. Chimera Instruments does not have any authorized distributors/resellers. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 334515, and the size standard is 750. No solicitation package will be issued. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations; however, interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to this requirement.� The Government will consider responses received by 1:00 p.m. (EST) August 24, 2020.� Inquiries will only be accepted via email to Barbara.suhrie@nist.gov. No telephone requests will be honored.
