The sole source determination is based on the National Institute of Standards and Technology's (NIST) requirement for mechanical test equipment that will meet the demands of the Materials Reliability Division at NIST. The equipment to be ordered with specification are Hydraulic power supply, 180 gpm, run-on-demand; Hydraulic service manifold, 250 gpm, 3-state servovolve; Flextest 40 controller; Software upgrades for SE controllers (2/ea) to permit operation with Microsoft Windows XP; Hydraulic service manifold, 20 gpm, and Loadframe, 55 Kip, hydraulic service manifold and controller. MTS Systems Corporation is the only vendor that can provide the new equipment to be compatible with our existing systems. Specifically, no other manufacturers can provide NIST the compatibility, interchangeability and interoperability required. 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. Such documentation will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis. A determination by the Government not to conduct a competitive procurement, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the government. Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice.
