- Representations Regarding Delinquent Tax Liability Applicable Provisions and Clauses Statement of Work This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6 - Streamlined Procedures for Evaluation and Solicitation for Commercial Items, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotations are being requested, and a separate written solicitation document will not be issued. This solicitation is being issued under the authority of FAR Parts 12 and 13. Simplified acquisition procedures shall be utilized. This solicitation is a Request for Quotations (RFQ). The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 2005-83 effective 03 August 2015. The associated North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code for this procurement is 334516 with a small business size standard of 500 Employees. This acquisition is being procured using full and open competition. The Material Measurement Laboratory's Biomaterials Group has a project involving development of a new method for coherent Raman spectroscopy of biological samples. This new technique requires a multichannel detection system with a high sensitivity to amplify a weak signal accompanied by a strong background. This multichannel lock-in amplifier and pre-amplifier shall be able to process photocurrent signals from a multichannel detector to acquire a weak chiral Raman spectrum by separating from a strong achiral Raman background. This new technique directly supports NIST's mission to advance measurement science to provide unprecedented information about the higher order structure of biomolecules; to accelerate competitiveness of biosciences and health; and to assist academic, industrial and regulatory stakeholders. Responsible quoters shall provide pricing for all of the following line items. All equipment must be new. Used or remanufactured equipment will not be considered for award. Line Item 0001: Quantity one (1) each, Multi-Channel Amplifier and Pre-Amplifier meeting the minimum specifications in accordance with the Statement of Work inclusive of all hardware, software, cabling and all deliverables.
