- FBO ANNOUNCEMENT: PRESOLICITATION NOTICE, NOTICE OF INTENT ACTION CODE: SPECIAL NOTICE CLASSIFICATION CODE: 66 - Instruments and Laboratory Equipment SUBJECT: Plasma Cleaner SOLICITATION NUMBER: NB643050-17-02236 RESPONSE DATE: 05/26/2017 DESCRIPTION: The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) intends to negotiate on a sole source basis, under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), with Thierry-Corp, located in Royal Oak, MI for the purchase of a Diener FEMTO System. Sole Source justification is based on the following: The Surface and Trace Chemical Analysis Group (STCAG) has an atmospheric pressure plasma system that uses compressed gases to operate and to provide modification of surfaces, which provide the basic platform for research that support several critical elements. Recent involvement in the bioscience field has highlighted the need for a specific chemistry on the surface, which can only be produced using a vacuum plasma deposition technique, where the vacuum allows the chemical reaction to occur prior to being deposited on the surface. The system needs to be a benchtop device for low-volume production of surfaces, but with high flexibility in regards to the chemistry on the surface. To comply with the Occupational Safety, Health and Environment and NIST's rules, the plasma system needs to be built out of stainless steel, which is resistant to corrosion from ammonia and sulfur hexafluoride, gases that are used to produce the desired surfaces. The components include the following: 1. Provide Type A, Semiautomatic Control Benchtop Unit (345 mm x 420 mm x 211mm) 2. Type A, Stainless Steel needle valve, corrosive gas version (1pc) 3. Pirani sensor pressure gauge 4. Table top connections (230V/16A), 10mm ID exhaust tube 5. Type A, Round stainless steel chamber, 100 mm ID, 2L volume (round, stainless steel, capped door, 100 mm x 278 mm) 6. Type B, stainless steel flat tray for round chamber(stainless steel, 90 mm x 255 mm x 3 mm) 7. Type A, stainless steel electrode for round chamber (stainless steel and/aluminum) 8. Type A, 40 kHz frequency, 0-100W power generator 9. Pfeiffer DUO 2.5C rotary vane pump, 2.5 m3/h, with PFPE oil 10. Corrosive gas version - stainless steel valves, tubing Market research has shown Thierry-Corp is the sole company who can provide this requirement. The resulting purchase order will be a Firm Fixed Price purchase order. NAICS code for this requirement will be 334516 - Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing with a small business size of standard of 1000 employees. No solicitation package will be issued. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations; however, interested parties who regard themselves as capable of fulfilling these requirements are invited to submit responses to the Government for consideration. Responses received by 05/26/2017 will be considered by the Government. 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 Inquiry POCs latish.wqlker@nist.gov Primary wendy.paulo@nist.gov Secondary National Institutes of Standards and Technologies NIST Acquisition Management Division (AMD) 100 Bureau Dr. Mail Stop 1640 Gaithersburg, MD. 20899-1640
