- Description
- The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) intends to negotiate, on a sole source basis, under authority of FAR 13.106-1(b) (1), with Advanced Measurement Technology (ORTEC), of Oak Ridge, Tennessee, for the acquisition of a Coaxial N-Type HPGe Gamma-Ray Detector to be used in the Ionizing Radiation Division at NIST. *****Sole source determination is based on the need for the detector to be a direct replacement of existing equipment currently in the laboratory. This equipment is being purchased to access performance differences between new technology (digital electronics) and old technology (analog electronics) and replace existing instrument. For this reason, the same detector type provided by the same manufacturer must be acquired for performance comparison and instrument replacement. The existing NIST system is composed of ORTEC high purity germanium (HPGe) detector and electronics that is connected to a personal computer with ORTEC software to ensure system compatibility. To be able to integrate and use the existing data acquisition system, it is required to purchase the new system from ORTEC. ORTEC is the only known vendor capable of supplying the required detector. . ***Delivery shall be FOB DESTINATION and be completed in accordance with the Contractor?s commercial schedule. *** *** As defined in the Federal Acquisition Regulation, (FAR), FOB Destination means: The contractor shall pack and mark the shipment in conformance with carrier requirements, deliver the shipment in good order and condition to the point of delivery specified in the purchase order, be responsible for any loss of and/or damage to the goods occurring before receipt and acceptance of the shipment by the consignee at the delivery point specified in the purchase order; and pay all charges to the specified point of delivery. The contractor shall deliver all line items to NIST, Gaithersburg, Maryland, 20899-0001. *** *****The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 334516, and the size standard is 500 Employees. ******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. *****No solicitation package will be issued. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations. However, responses received by May 24, 2007 will be considered by the Government.
