Description
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), intends to negotiate on a sole-source basis, under authority of FAR 13.501(a), with Bede Scientific Incorporated, 14 Inverness Drive East, Suite H-100, Englewood, CO 80112 for two (2) each Microsource Microfocus X-ray Generators with the following options and accessories: stand with X,Y and two tilt adjustments; recirculating heat exchanger; water chiller unit, and virtual microsource software for remote control or readout. Dual silver-anode X-ray sources are required to upgrade the NIST high precision lattice parameter system. The Bede Scientific is a high?brightness X-ray source based upon a magnetically-focussed electron tube and integral polycapillary optic. In a small (10-25 micron) spot it has intensity comparable with that from a rotating anode generator fitted with any current optical system, together with low horizontal and vertical divergence (<0.05 degree). It is also free from the side-lobes of intensity that are characteristic of electrostatically-focussed tubes and a proven stability of focal spot position at the submicron level over a period of hours. Bede Scientific is the only source capable of providing an instrument with the combination of low power dissipation (10-25W), high-brilliance, low-divergence, source stability, and electromagnetic focusing. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 334516, and the size standard is 500 employees. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations. However, interested parties may identify their capability to satisfy the Government?s requirements no later than the response date above. A determination not to compete the proposed acquisition based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Contracting Officer. No solicitation package will be issued.
