- Description
- The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) intends to negotiate, on a sole source basis, under authority of FAR 13.106-1(b) (1), with Craic Technologies, for the acquisition of Reflective upgrade to an existing Craic Micro-spectrophotometer to be used by the Engineering Laboratory (EL) at NIST, Gaithersburg, MD campus. ***** Sole source determination is based on the need of a reflectance mode upgrade to an existing Craic Micro-spectrophotometry that was purchased in 2015, for analysis of trace evidence samples, such as fibers and paints and for the NIST Forensics Measurement Challenge Research Program. The Craic MSP is currently a transmission mode only instrument and requires a reflectance mode upgrade to examine opaque samples to directly compare with other portable testing equipment. The reflectance mode upgrade includes UV-visible-NIR reflectance optics, light source with alignment mechanisms and power supplies and hardware, software, and polarizing nosepiece upgrades to accurately measure polymer materials in reflectance mode. Craic Technologies is the only manufacturer capable in providing the required upgrade for the hardware and software components that need to be compatible with the existing Micro-Spectrophotometer MSP 121 and does not have any authorized resellers. *****The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 334516- Analytical Laboratory Instruments. ****** 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 determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. *****Interested parties that believe they could satisfy the requirements listed above for NIST may clearly and unambiguously identify their capability to do so in writing on or before the response date for this notice. This notice of intent is not a solicitation. Any questions regarding this notice must be submitted in writing via email to Prateema Carvajal at prateema.carvajal@nist.gov. All responses to this notice of intent must be submitted so that they are received at Prateema.carvajal@nist.gov no later than April 14, 2017 at 8:00 AM Eastern Time.
