- The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with The American Ceramic Society (ACerS), Westerville, OH under Other Than Full and Open Competition by the authority of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements, to acquire scientific editing services for the Phase Equilibria Diagrams Database. This is a sole source inasmuch as ACerS is the only professional organization in the U.S. with a technical membership that specializes in ceramic science, affording it unique access to professors, researchers, post-docs and graduate students with advanced education, foreign language skills, and training needed to critically evaluate equilibrium phase diagrams or processing maps for ceramic materials. A fixed price purchase order will be issued on or about September 23, 2011 for a 1-yr. performance period. No solicitation package will be issued. This notice is not a request for competitive proposals; however, interested parties may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement. Inquiries will only be accepted via e-mail to randy.schroyer@nist.gov. The government will consider responses received by 5:00PM, EST, 09/01/2011. Written responses to this synopsis shall contain sufficient documentation to establish a bona fide capability to fulfill the requirement. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed requirement 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 in the future. This notice of intent is not a Request for Quotation (RFQ) nor is it a request for competition. No telephone requests will be honored. The North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 561410, and the size standard is $7.0M.
