- Description
- DESCRIPTION: The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) intends to negotiate and award a purchase order using simplified acquisition procedures on a sole source basis under the authority of FAR 13.106(b)(1), with Boulder Nonlinear Systems, Inc. in Boulder, CO for upgrading the super resolution point spread engineering system microscopy system to perform single molecule microscopy measurements. Sole Source is based on: Boulder Nonlinear Systems is the only source capable of providing an upgrade to the Boulder Nonlinear Systems XY Nematic spatial light modulator (SLM). The upgraded components of the system must be fully compatible with Boulder Nonlinear System XY Nematic SLM. In addition, the hardware and software to operate the system is proprietary and any vendor that is not authorized to provide maintenance to the system would void the warranty. Boulder Nonlinear Systems is the sole manufacturer and distributor of this system and the only vendor to provide maintenance and upgrades to the system. System shall be delivered not later than eight (8) weeks after receipt of the order. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 541712, and the size standard 500 employees or less. ***No solicitation package will be issued.
