- Description
- The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Acquisition Management Division, on behalf of the NIST Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology (CNST), intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with McAllister Technical Services, Inc., located in Coeur D Alene, ID, under the authority of FAR Subpart 13.106-1 (b), Soliciting from a Single Source. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) requires an ultra-high vacuum (UHV) long stroke linear/rotary translator. The UHV translator system is required for an advanced cryogenic scanning tunneling microscope in the Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology (CNST) Nanolab at NIST. This is a resource accessible to researchers in the CNST and to outside users via collaboration to measure a wide range of physical properties of materials. Measuring the properties of new nanostructured materials is a critical part of the CNST mission. NIST requires the translator system to be compatible, interchangeable, and controllable with an existing long stroke linear/rotary translator manufactured and previously purchased from McAllister Technical Services. This requirement results from having the need to interchange vertical translator units, rotatory units, stabilizer units, stepper motors, and spare parts, in case of failure to keep critical experiments running for NIST staff and outside facility users. In addition, this translator system will be operated from existing NIST developed software systems, which was custom developed for the McAllister Technical translator system. McAllister Technical Services, Inc. does not license others to utilize their propriety designs. As a result, they are uniquely qualified to provide the required equipment to guarantee these compatibility requirements. The NAICS Code is 334516 with a size standard of 500 employees. NIST anticipates negotiating and awarding a firm-fixed-price purchase order for this requirement. No solicitation package will be issued. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations; however, the Government will consider responses received by established date and time. 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.
