- Description
- The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) intends to negotiate, on a sole source basis, under authority of FAR 13.106-1(b) (1), with Setaram, Inc. located at 2555 US Highway 130 STE 2, Cranbury, NJ 08512 for an upgrade to the NIST-owned Micro-DSC EVO 7 instrument, for the Engineering Laboratory, Gaithersburg, Maryland. The Engineering Laboratory at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is currently enhancing its magneto-caloric effect capabilities by outfitting the MCE measurement laboratory with new measurement capabilities.� MCE measurement will include, among others, measuring temperature, heat and specific heat of samples.� In order to obtain the requisite experimental data, the measurement of specific heat as a function of pressure and temperature is required.� The NIST-owned Setaram, Inc. Micro-DSC EVO 7 instrument is used in support of this work and in order to achieve the required functionality of allowing for the measurement of the specific heat of samples as a function of both pressure and temperature the existing system requires an upgrade.� Specifically, to achieve the required results and allow for uninterrupted continuation of this important work, it is vital for NIST to purchase the following Setaram parts:� (2) Setaram, Inc. high pressure vessels with gas introduction (S60/55999) and one (1) holding part (S60/58688).� ��� The Micro DSC EVO 8 instrument is proprietary to its original equipment manufacturer, Setaram Inc. Only Setaram Inc. is authorized or capable of providing auxiliary equipment/upgrades for the proprietary instrument. �No other systems in the market were identified as being compatible with the existing hardware and software of NIST's existing Micro DSC EVO 7 instrument. Setaram, Inc. is the sole manufacturer, and sells directly to customers.� Accordingly, only Setaram, Inc. can meet this need. 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 competitive quotations. However, responses received by February 21, 2020 will be considered by the Government.� All responses to this notice of intent must be submitted via email to January.Magyar@nist.gov so that they are received no later than February 21, 2020 at 10:00 AM Eastern Time. Each response should include the following Business Information: a. Contractor Name, Address, b. Point of Contact Name, Phone Number, and Email address c. Contractor DUNS d. Contractor Business Classification (i.e., small business, 8(a), woman owned, hubZone, veteran owned, etc.) as validated in System for Award Management (SAM). All offerors must register in the SAM located at http://www.sam.gov/portal/SAM/#1 e. Capability Statement
