- 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 JEOL USA Inc. to renew the annual preventative maintenance service level agreement for a JEOL FESEM-7600 field emission scanning electron microscope and a JEOL JSM-840A scanning electron microscope for the period of June 01, 2015 to May 31, 2016. The service response level is gold and an unlimited number of service days allowed. This is considered a sole source to JEOL because, to the best of the NETL?s knowledge based on market research conducted, JEOL is the only known source that can maintain the scanning electron microscopes. The instruments utilize proprietary technology and software and no other vendor has access to this technology. JEOL maintains a complete line of spare parts and components as well as loaner equipment. JEOL is the so le factory authorized provider of service. Factory training and JEOL training center instruction in maintaining JEOL instrumentation are available only to current, qualified JEOL service engineers. 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 June 1, 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.
