- Description
- The National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) 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 Taylor Engineering for the thermal fluid design of test regenerators, pulse tube designs, and heat exchangers. Sole Source determination is based on the National Institute of Standards and Technology's (NIST) requirements which can only be met by Taylor Engineering who developed a computational fluid dynamic (CFD) modeling package for the analysis of pulse tube behavior in this apparatus. These services research and development related to regenerator and pulse tube testing at temperatures down to 4 K. Based on market research Taylor Engineering is the only known vendor that can provide these services. Performance period: From time of award through 12/31/2009. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals; 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.
