- Description
- Notice of Intent The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) intends to negotiate on a sole source basis, under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b) (1), with Newport Corporation located at 1791 Deere Ave, Irvine, CA 92606 to purchase an active, vibration isolation platform system that is fully compatible with the NIST owned SmartTable® OTS TM Optical Table System. The Material Measurement Laboratory's Microscopy and Microanalysis Research Group (MMRG) of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) conducts research on the development of innovative metrologies and measurement protocols for micro/nano-scale heterosystems analysis. Measurement techniques are used to determine sample composition as well as structural, electronic, and chemical properties of a wide variety of organic, inorganic and biomolecular systems where materials of interest are typically present as either micro/nano-scale features or monolayer/multilayer films. To meet mission requirements; the MMRG needs to procure an active, vibration isolation platform to improve performance of critical laser systems with the following part numbers; 1. OTS-BSH-8: 8X4 SHELF BELOW TABLE, FRAME MOUNTED 2 OTS-8: 8X4 SHELF ABOVE TABLE, FRAME MOUNTED 3 OTS-HG-8: 8 FT HIP GUARD, OTS 4 OTS-UT-38-8-I: SmartTABLE STATION UT 38-8, ISOLATED Sole Source justification is based on the following: The Newport SmartTable® OTS TM Optical Table System and associated components listed along with a Newport SmartTable® OTS TM Optical vibration isolation platform will form a tuned, active vibration isolation system. Pin-to-pin compatibility with controllers and other active elements are essential to keep the system matched/tuned and to maintain a high level of vibration isolation. The existing equipment and technology are proprietary to Newport and protected under US Patents. Deviation away from a Newport SmartTable® OTS TM Optical Table System would result in a reduced level of vibration isolation, costly re-engineering of existing equipment, and/or a total failure of the isolation platform. Newport is the sole manufacture and distributor of this product. The resulting purchase order will be a Firm Fixed Price award. The NAICS Code is 334516 with a size standard of 500 employees. No solicitation package will be issued. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations; however, responses received by July 21, 2014, 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 Inquiry POCs erik.frycklund@nist.gov Primary andrea.parekh@nist.gov Secondary National Institutes of Standards and Technologies NIST Acquisition Management Division (AMD) 100 Bureau Dr. Mail Stop 1640 Building 301, Rm B129 Gaithersburg, MD. 20899-1640
