Description

The National Institutes of Standards and Technology (NIST), Acquisition Management Division, on behalf of the Process Measurements Division, intends to negotiate on a sole source basis under the authority of FAR 13.106(b)(1), with Metric Test of Hayward, CA for frequency counters. Sole source determination is based on the following: Metric Test is the sole distributor and sole manufacturer of the required equipment. NIST is currently conducting research with CEESI of Iowa to provide traceability of high pressure natural gas flows. The CEESI facility utilizes custom data software specifically designed to interface with HP counters. To ensure data integrity, it is crucial for NIST to purchase the equipment that is identical to the equipment CEESI currently uses. No solicitation package will be issued. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations; however, responses received by July 18, 2006 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.
