- Description
- The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Acquisition Management Division, on behalf of the NIST Center for Neutron Research (NCNR), intends to negotiate with Edwards Vacuum, Inc.; Sanborn, NY, on a sole source basis under the authority of FAR Subpart 13.106-1(b)(1)- only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements, to purchase custom turbo pump carts. The NIST NCNR has a requirement for five turbo pump carts that were previously custom designed by Edwards Vacuum, Inc in conjunction with NIST. This is a follow on effort to previous purchases of these custom turbo pump carts. The NCNR has numerous Edwards Vacuum turbo pump carts in operation, as well as a large inventory of spare parts and institutional maintenance knowledge. These new turbo pump carts will replace old versions and serve as backups in the event of failure of other turbo pump carts in the NCNR. To acquire a different vendor's models at this stage would result in substantial duplication of cost to the Government as well as unacceptable delays that would significantly restrict the ability of NCNR users to perform experiments and research. The NAICS Code is 333911- Pump and Pumping Equipment Manufacturing with a size standard of 500 employees. NIST anticipates negotiating and awarding a firm-fixed-price purchase order to Edwards Vacuum, Inc. for this requirement in the 4th quarter of fiscal year 2013. 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 July 25, 2013 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
