- 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 PI (Physik Instrumente) L.P. located at 16 Albert St., Auburn, MA 01501 to purchase a Super Resolution XYZ Macro\Micro Stage System. NIST's Material Measurement Laboratory's Materials Measurement Science Division (MMSD) conducts research on the development of innovative metrologies and measurement protocols for micro/nano-scale heterosystems analysis. Measurement techniques are used to determine sample composition as well as structural, electronic, and chemical properties of a wide variety of organic, inorganic and biomolecular systems where materials of interest are typically present as either micro/nano-scale features or monolayer/multilayer films. To meet current mission requirements, the MMSD needs to acquire a Super Resolution Macro/Micro Stage System to enable measurements with user supplied mechanical fixtures and software. Pursuant to this application, the Super Resolution Macro/Micro Stage System must be fully compatible with an existing PI (Physik Instrumente) L.P. NanoCapture TM and PIMikroMove TM as well as PI's General Command Set DLL due to pre-existing custom software and hardware. Further, MMSD requires a Super Resolution Macro/Micro Stage System platform that is pin-to-pin compatible to a M-111.1 DG Precision linear stage with C-884.SDC and C-863.11 controllers; U-628.03 Plline® High-Speed Rotation Stages with a C-867.2U2 Plline(R) Controller; and P-7333CD Precision XYZ Piezo Flexure Nanopositioning Stage with an E-727.3CDA Digital Multi-Channel Piezo Controller; a P-726.1CD High-Dynamics PIFOC® Piezo Nanofocusing Z-Drive with an E-709.CHG Digital Piezo Controller and P-726.12 thread adapter; and a D-510.051 PISeca Single-Electrode Capacitive Sensor Probe with an E-852.10 PISeca Signal Conditioner Electronics. Deviation from these items would result in a reduced level of interoperability, performance and/or a total failure of the super resolution stage platform. Only the same instrument numbers from Physik Instrumente L.P. as stated above meet the pin-to-pin compatibility requirement and meet NIST's minimum requirements. Market research has shown that Physik Instrumente L.P. is the sole company who can provide this equipment to NIST. Given these facts, Physik Instrumente L.P., is the only source reasonably available to provide the required equipment. The resulting purchase order will be a Firm-Fixed-Price purchase order. The NAICS Code is 334519 with a size standard of 500 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 11:59 am EST 5/17/2018, 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.
