- Description
- In accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) intends to award a purchase order on a sole source basis to Advanced Measurement Technology (AMETEK) (ORTEC brand products), to purchase an ORTEC Positron Lifetime Picosecond Timing System. This is considered a sole source to AMETEK because, to the best of the NETL's knowledge, based on market research conducted AMETEK is the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and sole source distributor/provider of the ORTEC Positron Lifetime Picosecond Timing System and therefore, the only known source that can provide this exact item. The ORTEC Positron Annihilation Lifetime Spectroscopy (PALS) system will be used by NETL to test predictions of quantum theory with regard to the differences between electron and positron interactions with matter. The features of the PALS are needed by NETL since the research testing is going to characterize the nono scale free volume of polymeric membranes produced. PALS will also be used to probe the size of molecular free volumes at a wide range of temperatures, allowing the identification of important phase transitions which occur in molecular materials. No known potential alternate sources exist which could satisfy NETL's requirement. This notice of intent is not a request for quote/proposal. Any interested party that believes it is capable of meeting the NETL requirement described herein may identify themselves and must provide evidence of their capability to fulfill the requirement being requested by 4:30 PM ET on September 21, 2018. Responses must be submitted in writing to the purchasing agent, Lora Stumpf, via email at stumpf@netl.doe.gov no later than the time and date noted above. Telephone responses and requests will not be received. A determination by the Government not to compete this requirement based on 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.
