Under the authority of FAR 13.106-1 (b) (1). NIST and the laser radiometry group requires: a variable flow helium compressor, an electrical control unit complete with laptop to interface to our cryostat, and 30 feet helium flex hose set to control our preexisting Montana Instruments cryostat, configured to measure the absolute radiant power of a THz laser at 119 um and 394 um wavelength. These items are to meet requirements of compact footprint, lowest power usage and low noise. The items described in this purchase have been identified as necessary to further NIST research efforts and to provide traceability for the absolute measurement of THz laser power. Sole Source determination is based on the market research that shows only one vendor can comply too this critical process that meets all of the laser radiometry group's technical requirements. This is a commercial item, under the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 334516 - Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing, will be used in soliciting as a sole-source to Montana Instruments Corporation. NIST anticipates negotiating and awarding a firm-fixed-price purchase order for this requirement. Interested parties that believe they could satisfy the requirements listed above for NIST may clearly and unambiguously identify their capability to do so in writing on or before the response date for this notice. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations/proposals or bids. Information submitted in response to this notice will be used solely to determine whether competitive procedures could be used for this acquisition. A determination by the Government not to compete this acquisition based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. If competitive procedures are not used it is estimated that an award will be issued by Tuesday July 28, 2015. All responses to this notice of intent must be submitted so that they are received by marc.zurasky@nist.gov no later than Monday July 27, 2015, 5 pm Mountain Time.
