- Description
- NOTICE OF INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE TO Veeco Process Equipment, Inc The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with Veeco Process Equipment, Inc., St. Paul, MN, under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b) Soliciting From a Single Source, a Replacement Effusion Oven Cell with the following specifications: Effusive oven cell Dual wire heater filaments, independently controllable Type C thermocouples Operating temperature: 400 C to 1000 C Water cooled jacket Built with 4.5" Conflat vacuum flange Two independent DC current supplies, with closed loop temperature and power feedback (1500 W, cables included) Oven cell must accommodate custom crucible, OD = 0.98 inches, length = 3.5 inches (including 0.4 inches for nozzle, which is able to be independently temperature controlled). NIST currently uses a commercial cell from Veeco Instruments and need a replacement cell which is the same as our current cell. In particular, the oven must have identical geometry, i.e. able to fit the custom crucible and the vacuum system that we currently use. This compatibility is required since we need to be able to operate interchangeably between our new and old cell, using the same custom crucible and existing vacuum apparatus. Based on market research, NIST has not identified any other sources that can provide the required product. If NIST identifies no other capable sources by July 30, 2012, NIST will issue a firm-fixed price purchase order on or about August 3, 2012 to Veeco Process Equipment. Interested parties may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement, in writing, no later than the response date. Written responses to this synopsis shall contain sufficient documentation to establish a bona fide capability to fulfill the requirement. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 333295, and the size standard is 500 employees. A determination by the Government whether to compete the 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). No solicitation package will be issued. Inquiries will only be accepted via e-mail to tiffany.atchison@nist.gov. No telephone requests will be honored.
