- Description
- In accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures, the Department of Energy (DOE), National Energy Technical Laboratory (NETL) intends to award a purchase order on a sole source basis to Carl Zeiss Microscopy, LLC to renew the annual service agreement for the MicroXCT-400 Scanner for the contract period of May 15, 2015 to May 14, 2016. Service includes scheduled and emergency service, all travel charges within the continental USA, two preventative maintenance inspections, all covered replacement parts, software updates when available, and factory trained customer support engineers. This is considered a sole source to Carl Zeiss because, to the best of the NETL?s knowledge, based on market research conducted Carl Zeiss is the only known source that can maintain the micro CT scanner. Only the original equipment manufacturer (OEM), Carl Zeiss, and their properly trained technical service representatives, who receive on-going fact ory training and regular technical updates, can perform repairs and/or maintenance on this piece of equipment due to the complexities of the instrument. Only Carl Zeiss technical service representatives have direct access to original manufacturer's parts. If anyone else performs maintenance then all warranties will be voided. No known potential alternate sources exist which could satisfy NETL's requirement. This notice of intent is not a request for quote/proposal. Any interested party that believes it is capable of meeting the NETL requirement described herein may identify themselves and must provide evidence of their capability to fulfill the requirement being requested by 5:30 PM ET on May 21, 2015. Responses must be submitted in writing to the purchasing agent, Lora Stumpf, via email at stumpf@netl.doe.gov no later than the time and date noted above. Telephone responses and requests will not be received. A determination by the Government not to compete this requirement based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
