- Description
- The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Acquisition Management Division, on behalf of the Physical Measurement Laboratory- Dimensional Metrology Group, intends to negotiate with FARO Technologies, Inc.; Lake Mary, FL, on a sole source basis under the authority of FAR Subpart 13.106-1 (b), Soliciting from a Single Source, to purchase an ION laser tracker system. The Advance Dimensional Measuring Systems project team develops test methods, procedures and documentary standards that evaluate the performance of measuring systems used in advance manufacturing. A unique and required feature offered by FARO Technologies is its "Instant-On Laser" that enables immediate absolute distance measurement capability. This feature, along with a greater than 9.5 kHz absolute distance meter sampling rate, enables higher throughput for measurements of long length standards such as fiber optic cals. This capability will also satisfy ASME B89.4.19 and ISO 10360-10 measurement standards, which NIST will test. Recent market research conducted by NIST shows that both of these required features are not available from other laser tracker manufacturers. FARO Technologies, Inc. is the sole provider of this product. The NAICS Code is 334513- Instruments and Related Products Manufacturing for Measuring, Displaying, and Controlling Industrial Process Variables with a Size Standard of 500 employees. NIST anticipates negotiating and awarding a firm-fixed-price purchase order to FARO Technologies, Inc. for this requirement. Interested parties that believe they could satisfy the requirements listed above for NIST may clearly and unambiguously identify their capability to do so in writing on or before the response date for this notice. This notice of intent is not a solicitation. Information submitted in response to this notice will be used solely to determine whether competitive procedures could be used for this acquisition. Any questions regarding this notice must be submitted in writing via email to Eric Bubar at eric.bubar@nist.gov. All responses to this notice of intent must be submitted so that they are received at eric.bubar@nist.gov no later than June 25, 2012 at 5:00 pm. Contracting Office Address: 100 Bureau Drive, Building 301, Room B129, Mail Stop 1640 Gaithersburg, Maryland 20899-1640 Place of Performance: 100 Bureau Drive Gaithersburg, Maryland 20899 United States Primary Point of Contact: Eric Bubar, Contract Specialist eric.bubar@nist.gov Phone: 301-975-3635 Fax: 301-975-8904
