- Description
- DESCRIPTION: The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) intends to negotiate, on a sole source basis, under the authority of FAR 13.106(b)(1), with EOS of North America Inc. for the acquisition of metal powder to be used by the NIST Intelligent Systems Division. ***** Sole source determination is based on the need to acquire 250 kg of EOS brand Nickel Alloy IN 625 metal powder for NIST's Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) machine. NIST's DMLS machine is a model M270, produced by EOS Inc. This machine is intended to only process raw metal powders that are produced by the equipment vendor (EOS). Using other powders from other suppliers in this machine (1) would have an unknown and possibly detrimental effect on the machine's performance, (2) would produce parts with potentially unknown properties, and (3) would instantly void the machine's warranty. These facts along with the machine's estimated value of $1M indicate it would be prudent to use only the vendor-supplied powder. *****The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 332117 - Powder Metallurgy Part Manufacturing. ****** A determination by the Government whether to compete the proposed acquisition based upon 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. *****No solicitation package will be issued. This notice of intent is not a request for quotations. Interested parties that believe they can satisfy the requirements listed above must identify their capability in writing before the response date of this notice. Only responses received by July 17, 2015, 5:00 p.m., EST will be considered by the government. Responses shall be submitted via email to amber.gray@nist.gov.
