- Description
- The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Acquisition Management Division, on behalf of the Fundament Electrical Metrology Group, intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with Winters Electro-Optics, Inc. (WEO) located in Longmont, CO under the authority of FAR Subpart 13.106-1 (b), Soliciting from a Single Source. The Fundament Electrical Metrology Group requires a direct drop in replacement iodine stabilized laser to replace a failing WEO Model 100 for calculable capacitor project to ensure undisruptive operation of the NIST primary capacitance standard. The laser will enable the calculable capacitor project to continue its length traceability, allowing realization of the NIST capacitance unit. The NIST calculable capacitor has LabVIEW software which has been developed over the last ten years that is specific to the WEO iodine stabilized laser. As a result, Winters Electro-Optics, Inc. is uniquely qualified to provide a commercially available, direct drop in replacement laser, which would keep the project up and running without the need for redesign or rewriting software, which would result in a negative impact on the calibration labs. The NAICS Code is 334516 with a size standard of 1000 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 the 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.
