- Description
- The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Acquisition Management Division, on behalf of the Office of Reference Material Division, Material Measurement Laboratory, intends to negotiate, on a sole source basis, under authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), with Rees Scientific Corporation, Trenton, NJ, for the comprehensive maintenance service covering the Rees Monitoring System for 64 NIST-owned refrigerators and freezers located at NIST, 100 Bureau Drive, Gaithersburg, MD. NIST intends to purchase a fixed price one-year comprehensive maintenance service, which includes up to four one-year renewable option periods. Sole Source determination is based on the following: NIST's Office of Reference Material requires annual maintenance and validation on existing Rees Scientific hardware and software (Centron Environmental Monitoring System) which monitors temperature for the 64 freezers/refrigerators that contain perishable Standard Reference Materials. All freezers/refrigerators have probes installed to detect any temperature change and supply this information to the Rees monitoring system. Rees Scientific Corporation is the sole provider and distributor of the Rees Scientific Software and this software is proprietary. Rees Scientific is the only company authorized to provide validation, calibration, and support for the Rees Scientific system that meets the Government's minimum requirements. Rees Scientific Corporation is the sole manufacturer and distributor. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 811219, and the size standard is $19 million. No solicitation package will be issued. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations; however, the Government will consider responses received by March 19, 2014, 3:30 p.m. EST. 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.
