Four one-year (12 months) option year period will be added to this requirement. The anticipated period of performance, inclusive of all option periods, is January 01, 2017 through May 31, 2021. The hardware covered is a D/MAX Rapid II and Ultrax 18kW X-Ray Diffractometer.

Service performed on Rigaku equipment must be provided by Rigaku factory trained engineers, otherwise, any warranties will be null and void. The service contract coverage includes one preventive maintenance service visit, unlimited emergency service visits as deemed necessary by Rigaku service personnel, and 72 hour/best effort on-site service response time. Rigaku is the only source for this equipment service contract renewal. 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 5:30 PM ET on December 28, 2016. Responses must be submitted in writing to the purchasing agent, Lora Stumpf, via email at stumpf@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.
