Description
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) intends to negotiate on a sole source basis, under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), with: TRAJAN SCIENTIFIC AMERICAS INC. 1421 W WELLS BRANCH PKWY # 108, PFLUGERVILLE, TX 78660 The sole source justification is based on the following: The Biomolecular Measurement Division of the National Institute of Standards & Technology (NIST) provides improvement of measurements through method and instrumentation development, validates HDX-MS measurement technology by conducting interlaboratory comparisons, and improves measurement accuracy through HDX-MS studies of selected proteins. To support this mission, it utilizes a system that includes a Trajan HDX -DHR robotic rail system S/N 505628 and associated Chronos software for operation. NIST is now seeking on-site repair/maintenance services for the Trajan HDX � DHR robotic rail system S/N 505628. Trajan Scientific Americas is the original manufacturer of the hardware and software for which maintenance service is sought. The HDX Workflow Solutions from Trajan incorporates and utilizes specialty developed, and proprietary IP embodied in hardware, software and consumable supply. Trajan protects key hardware through patents, and software embedded IP is contained in encrypted modules for these dedicated workflows. Trajan is also the owner and sole global resource for purchase and support of Chronos scheduling software and HDExaminer data analysis software. There are no 3rd party vendors that Trajan works with to provide the services. This information is included in a sole source letter that Trajan provided. No other vendor can provide these services as they are specialized hardware, software, and software updates from this vendor.� Given these facts, Trajan Scientific Americas Inc. is the only source reasonably available to fulfill the requirement. The resulting purchase order will be a Firm Fixed Price purchase order. The NAICS Code is 811210 - Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance with a size standard of $34 million. 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 9:00 Am EST March 22, 2024, will be considered by the Government. Responses must be submitted via email to the Government point of contacts listed below. 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.
