Description
NOAA's Acquisition & Grants Office, Western Acquisition Division-Boulder, intends to negotiate, on a sole source basis, under authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1),with ColdQuanta for the purchase of a RuBECi TM atom-chip vacuum cell. The sole source determination is based on the National Institute of Standards and Technology's (NIST) requirement for a RuBECi TM atom-chip vacuum cell. NIST requires an atom-chip vacuum cell system that includes a mounting system for the vacuum chamber, active and passive vacuum pumps, and upper and lower chambers containing the science and source vacuum cells, respectively. Also, the system must be small and compact. The RuBECi is a Trade Marked System. This design of the atom chip vacuum cell is protected by various US and international pending patents. Based on market research, ColdQuanta, Inc. is the only vendor that has commercial available products designed to meet all the required needs of NIST. Delivery date will be March 30, 2010. 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 10 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.
