- ***NOAA's Acquisition & Grants Office, Mountain Region Acquisition Division, intends to negotiate, on a sole source basis, under authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), with Attocube Systems AG, of Germany for the purchase of positioning system for low temperature. ***Sole Source determination is based on NOAA's requirement for a piezo motion stages for operation at 100mK temperatures with 2mm range of motion and low power dissipation. The piezomotion stage for optical components technical specifications include: a) operate at temperatures below 100mK, b) experience/technical support for operating stages below 100mK, c) no power dissipation when not moving, d) low power dissipation when the stage is moving, e) slip-stick motion (unique and critical for stability, low noise, and low power), f) low voltage operation (<200V), g) 2mm range of motion, h) <500nm resolution. Attocube System is the only known vendor that meets our technical requirements. ***This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals and no solicitation package is available. However, firms that believe they can provide equipment that fully meets the Government's requirements may submit substantiating documentation in writing to the identified point of contact within 15 days after publication of this synopsis.
