- Description
- The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) intends to negotiate on a sole source basis, under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b) (1), with FEI Company located at 5350 NE Dawson Creek Drive, Hillsboro, OR 97124 to modify the CompuStage on NISTS existing FEI Titan 80-300 TEM/STEM (S/N D3094) so that the tilt stage rotation may be increased from a maximum of 156 degrees to 180 degrees. The sole source justification is based on the following: NIST owns and operates the above specified FEI branded equipment. The current equipment provides a tilt stage that has a maximum rotation of 156 degrees. In order to improve the fidelity and quantitative capabilities of tomography data, MMSD requires the stage of the instrument to be modified so as to enable acquisition of data over a 180-degree range of tilts. Market research has shown that FEI Company is the sole authorized contractor who can modify the equipment as required. Given these facts, FEI Company is the only source reasonably available to perform the required modification. The resulting purchase order will be a Firm Fixed Price purchase order. The NAICS Code is 811219 with a size standard of $20,500,000.00. No solicitation package will be issued. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations; however, interested parties who regard themselves as capable of fulfilling these requirements are invited to submit responses to the Government for consideration. Responses received by 11:00 am EST June 10th, 2016, will be considered by the Government. 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.
