- Description
- Equipment List This is a SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE for market research purposes. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS OR A REQUEST FOR QUOTATIONS. The National Institute of Standards and Technology's (NIST's) Engineering Laboratory (EL) and Material Measurement Laboratory (MML) conducts a variety of stress and strain tests on metals and alloys. This work is in support of research programs, and standards developing organizations (e.g., ASTM, ASME, ASCE, UL, etc.). EL and MML use MTS Systems test machines to conduct stress and strain measurements. These test machines consist of test frames, load cells, controllers, pumps, hydraulic grips, extensometers, actuators, and alignment fixtures. NIST is seeking sources capable of calibrating and repairing 23 MTS System test machines at the NIST campuses located in Gaithersburg, MD and Boulder, CO. The list of equipment that is required to be repaired and maintained is attached. NIST is seeking responses from all responsible sources. Small businesses are defined under the associated NAICS code for this effort, 811219 (Other Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance). The small business size standard is $20.5M. Please include your company's size classification in any response to this notice. Companies that possess the capability to perform the required work are requested to email a written response documenting their capability to carol.wood@nist.gov no later than the response date for this sources sought notice. After the results of this market research are obtained and analyzed, NIST may conduct a competitive procurement and subsequently award a contract. If at least two qualified small business are identified during this market research stage, then any competitive procurement that resulted is anticipated to be conducted as a small business set-aside. The following information is required to be provided as part of the response to this sources sought notice: 1. Documentation/description of capabilities which clearly demonstrates the capability to calibrate, maintain and repair the 23 test machines in the attached table; 2. Documentation of any relevant experience calibrating, maintaining and repairing MTS test machines in the attached table; 3. Documentation of any relevant experience in providing software and firmware upgrades for the 23 test machines in the attached table; 4. Documentation/description of availability of engineers or technicians that have at least two (2) years of experience on one or more of the MTS test machines listed in the attached table; 5. Any relevant documentation which demonstrates how quickly an engineer or technician is able to start the diagnosis of MTS Systems test machines (after receipt of a customer's request); 6. Documentation which demonstrates that the Contractor has access to parts that will be required to compete the required work; 7. Name and business size of the company; 8. Any other relevant information that is not listed above which the Government should consider in finalizing its market research. Submission must be received not later than December 5, 2014, at 3:30 PM Eastern Time.
