- Description
- The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) intends to negotiate, on a sole source basis, under the authority of FAR 13.106(b)(1), with OriginLab Corporation for the acquisition of twelve (12) OriginPro 2017 Perpetual Network Licenses to be used by the NIST Office of Information Systems Management (OISM). ***** OISM manages and supports NIST's enterprise on and off premise computing and data storage environments that underpin NIST's mission and business functions. Origin Pro has been a critical component of NIST research for the last 15 years. To fulfill its mission, the OISM utilizes OriginLab's products for data analysis and graphing software. Sole source determination is based on the need to acquire software licenses that serve NIST researchers in both Gaithersburg and Boulder who use Origin Pro to perform mathematical analysis and to present their results in readable plots. Origin Pro provides a scripted graphics environment that interacts with a variety of other mathematical tools used at NIST, including MATLAB, LabVIEW and Microsoft Excel. Use of any other software would: 1. Interrupt numerous NIST research programs. 2. Cause undue costs associated with replacing the existing library of processes and job scripts. OrginLab's Government Sales Account Representative confirmed via certified letter that OriginLab Corporation is the only company authorized to distribute OriginLab's software in the United States. *****The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 511210 - Software Publishers with a small business size standard of $38.5 million. ****** A determination by the Government whether to compete the proposed acquisition based upon 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. *****No solicitation package will be issued. This notice of intent is not a request for quotations. Interested parties that believe they can satisfy the requirements listed above must identify their capability in writing before the response date of this notice. Only responses received by March 7, 3:00 p.m., EST will be considered by the government. Responses shall be submitted via email to amber.gray@nist.gov.
