Description
The National Institute of Standards and Technology/ Acquisition Management Division, (NIST/AMD) on behalf of the Materials and Structures Division, intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with TA Instruments of New Castle, DE, for the labor and equipment necessary to repair a NIST-owned TA Instruments Q500 Thermogravimetric Analyzer (TGA). The period of performance shall be 30 days from the date of award. This requirement will be fulfilled using simplified acquisition procedures under the authority of FAR Parts 12and 13. The NIST/Materials and Structures Division of the Engineering Laboratory requires that the oven and power supply of an existing TA Instruments Q500 TGA be repaired. The instrument oven is no longer operational due to inoperable oven windings and the instrument will not turn on due to an inoperable power supply. The TGA instrument is used to measure the mass of thermally decomposing materials in different environments. The instrument is used for measurements that relate to the development of service life prediction models for nanocomposites, PV materials, and scratch resistance coatings. The Contractor must restore the instrument to manufacturer's specifications. TA Instruments is the sole manufacturer of the TGA and has proprietary rights to the equipment and all associated components. TA Instruments confirmed that they do not have any authorized distributors or service providers, therefore, TA Instruments is the only source for the repair. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 811219, and the size standard is $19.0M. No solicitation package will be issued. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations; however, responses received by September 5, 2012, will be considered by the Government. 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 normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
