Dr. Shirley's expertise is critical to the continued operation and improvement of NIST-F1, the US primary frequency standard and to the introduction of NIST-F2, NIST-F1's replacement. There are no other contractors with greater or equivalent specialized expertise. He is the only known source that meets all the technical requirements of the requiring activity. As a result, Dr. Shirley is uniquely qualified to satisfy the Government's minimum requirements. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 541690 Other Scintific and Technical Consulting Services, the size standard is $7M 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. The Government will consider responses received by 3:00 p.m. (EST) on February 21, 2011. Inquiries will only be accepted via email to leonard.spakow@nist.gov. No telephone requests will be honored.
