- FEDBIZOPPS.GOV ANNOUNCEMENT: SPECIAL NOTICE CLASSIFICATION CODE: 66 - Instruments and Laboratory Equipment SUBJECT: Calibration and Ergonomic Equipment CONTACT POINTS: Gizabi, Sedigah, Contract Specialist (301) 975-8429; Singman, Robert, Contracting Officer (301) 975-6388 The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) intends to negotiate, on a sole-source basis, with Seraphin, USA, under the authority of FAR Part 13.106-1(b), for the procurement of testing sand/sink for 5 gallons/20-liter test measures, portable proving system tank, ball joint and wheels only, and prover, 5-gallon series "p" (pipette) to be used by NIST Physical Measurement Laboratory (PML), in Gaithersburg, MD. ***** Sole source determination is based on the need to acquire testing sand/sink for 5 gallons/20-liter test measures, portable proving system tank, ball joint and wheels only, and prover, 5-gallon series "p" (pipette) from Seraphin, USA. The primary goal in the training laboratory is to ensure students are able to perform hands-on measurement practice with balances that are comparable to the equipment maintained in their laboratories. As a "training and demonstration laboratory" NIST PML needs to reflect state-of-the-art capabilities and procedures for students who attend NIST's training and for whom NIST provide technical support. The pipette style stainless steel standard is a specialized precision standard used in the laboratory to transfer a defined and measured volume of liquid adjusted to within 2 mL of the nominal volume. The testing stand table/sink can be utilized for both 3 in and 4 in diameter neck test measures and is designed to minimize ergonomic risk to the laboratory staff and student (s). The portable proving system tank (ball joint and wheels only) will allow NIST PML instructors to perform calibrations in alternative areas of the laboratory, safely with good ergonomics, minimizing risk to staff and students. It will not require to do any accommodations or additional purchase of equipment. NIST PML will be able to directly use the current 5 gal / 20 L laboratory standards without further modification. Most NIST PML volume equipment are stainless steel laboratory standards and all of the equipment from Seraphin are also stainless steel to minimize temperature effects required during measurements. Only Seraphin, USA. has the unique capabilities of providing the required stainless steel specialized series equipment that meet the Government's minimum requirements which makes them uniquely qualified. ***** The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition 334516 - Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing, with a 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. 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 07/22/2018, 11:59 p.m., EST will be considered by the government. Responses shall be submitted via email to sedigah.gizabi@nist.gov or robert.singman@nist.gov.
