- Description
- DESCRIPTION: The United States Department of Commerce (DOC), National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Acquisition Management Division (AMD) intends to negotiate a firm fixed price purchase order, on a sole source basis, with Precision X-Ray, 15 Commerce Drive, Unit 1, North Branford, CT 06471 to acquire an upgrade to the existing XRAD 320 Cabinet X-Ray, to include a new Touch Rad control console, junction box, diamentor, generator and replacing the oil to water cooler with an oil to air cooler. The statutory authority for this sole source acquisition is FAR 13.106-1(b) by the authority of FAR Part 13 Simplified Acquisition Procedures. The Dosimetry Group of the Radiation Physics Division (RPD) at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) needs to upgrade a few components on an existing cabinet x-ray irradiator that was transferred from the Food and Drug Administration to NIST. These upgrades will allow NIST to adapt the new device to its programmatic goals to develop dosimetry standards for radiation biology applications in support of improving research for radiation therapies used to treat cancer. Research has found that only one (1) company can meet the 100% compatibility with the existing laboratory equipment, which can ONLY be obtained directly from the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), Precision X-Ray. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 334516, and the size standard is 500 employees. No solicitation package will be issued. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations; however, all responsible sources interested may identify their interest and capability to respond to this requirement. The Government will consider responses received by 1:00 p.m. Eastern on August 5, 2016. Inquiries will only be accepted via email to forest.crumpler@nist.gov No telephone requests will be honored. 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 in the future.
