The magnetic suspension balance that Rubotherm GMBH offers is the only commercially available magnetic suspension balance that has the capabilities for thermal isolation of a permeation tube in a metal or glass containment where a controlled flow of gas may be swept around the permeation tube to produce a known concentration of the permeated compound in a dilution gas. This balance is the only commercially available instrument that meets all of NIST's specific needs. Rubotherm GMBH is the sole manufacturer and distributor. Delivery shall be FOB Destination, Gaithersburg, MD, and be completed in accordance with the Contractor's commercial schedule. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 334513, 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, interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to this requirement.
