- Description
- In accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures, the Department of Energy (DOE), National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) intends to award a purchase order, on a sole source basis, to Ocean Optics, Inc. to procure a custom built NIR Spectrometer with custom fiber configuration. This unit is unique in terms of its design and functionality and the accessories purchased will be specifically designed and manufactured to integrate with three (3) other Ocean Optics spectrometers currently being utilized by NETL. The NIR spectrometer and custom fiber configuration need to be manufactured by Ocean Optics in order for all combined units to complete a spectrometer solution capable of measuring from UV to NIR via the multiplexor and analysis software. The custom NIR spectrometer and custom fiber configuration is considered a sole source to Ocean Optics because, to the best of NETL's knowledge and based on market research conducted, Ocean Optics is the only company cable of manufacturing the required custom spectrometer and fiber configuration capable of integrating with the current Ocean Optics spectrometers. No known potential alternate sources exist which could satisfy NETL's requirement. This notice of intent is not a request for quote/proposal. Any interested party that believes it is capable of meeting the NETL requirement described herein may identify themselves and must provide evidence of their capability to fulfill the requirement being requested by 4:00 PM ET on September 24, 2016. Responses must be submitted in writing to the Contract Specialist, Erin Kirchoff, via email at Erin.Kirchoff@netl.doe.gov no later than the time and date noted above. Telephone responses and requests will not be received. A determination by the Government not to compete this requirement based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
