- The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) intends to negotiate, on a sole source basis, under authority of FAR 13.106-1(b) (1), with Linde Gas of Murray Hill, New Jersey, for the acquisition of Helium-3 to be used by the Physical Measurement Laboratory at NIST, Gaithersburg, Maryland. The Department of Energy controls the supply of Helium-3 for the United States and only licenses Linde North American, Inc. for the distribution of Helium-3. These Helium-3 distributions are allowed only through the 3He sub-IPC (Helium-3 sub-interagency policy council), a federally organized program of annual allocations which are reviewed and approved for each federal agency. Therefore, Linde Gas is the only known vendor capable in providing Helium-3 to NIST. Gas: Helium-3 Purity: Isotopic Enrichment: 99.9%, Chemical: 99.999% *****The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 325120, and the size standard is 1000 Employees. ******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 be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. *****No Solicitation package will be issued. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations. However, responses received by June 4, 2012 will be considered by the Government.
