- Description
- ***The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), intends to negotiate, on a sole source basis, under authority of FAR 6.302-1(ii)(A), with Mitutoyo America Corporation, in Westford, MA for the purchase of a Mitutoyo UMAP 350 System (Coordinate Measuring Machine).*** ***The Mitutoyo UMAP 350 system was installed, at NIST, under a CRADA between NIST and Mitutoyo. This is a follow-on procurement as defined in FAR Part 6.302-1(ii)(A). The current UMAP system is performing measurements critical to U.S. industry. The procurement of another manufacturer’s coordinate measuring system would be detrimental to NIST and the US industry. If NIST were to procure another manufacturer’s system, a year and half worth of duplicated work would be required to get the new system operational. NIST would be required to develop new programs to operate the system, train employees on the new system, study the machines accuracy, etc. This would not only be a time consuming effort, but would also duplicate costs previously invested by NIST. Therefore, a sole source to Mitutoyo for the existing UMAP 350 system is hereby determined to be in the best interest of the Government *** ***The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 334516, and the size standard is 500 employees.*** ***No solicitation package will be issued. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations; however, the Government will consider responses received by September 04, 2009.*** 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.
