The statutory authority for this sole source acquisition is FAR 13.106-1(b) by the authority of FAR Part 13 Simplified Acquisition Procedures. ***** Sole source determination is based on the need to acquire a fuel cell hydration measurement camera system that uses and offers a high frame rate imaging of 100 and has software compatible with that used by NIST which will allow the equipment to work with existing Andor Technology. The fuel cell hydration measurement camera system to be used for high resolution imaging of fuel cells which is a critical part of the PML's mission. PML's Neutron Imaging Facility has developed sophisticated image acquisition software based on the Andor sCMOS imaging device purchased previously. Rewriting this software for another manufacturer's system would represent an undue hardship in manpower and facility downtime. Andor Technology is the sole manufacturer and distributor of a product that meets these requirements. *****The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 334516 - Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing, with a small business size standard of 1,000 employees. *****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 be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. *****No solicitation package will be issued.
