Description

The United States Department of Commerce (DOC), National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Acquisition Management Division (AMD) intends to negotiate a firm fixed price purchase order, on a sole source basis, with Heidelberg Instruments at 2539 W 237th Street, Suite A, Torrance, CA 90505-5239, for the purchase of an upgrade to an existing MLA150 Aligner System. 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 an upgrade of the existing Heidelberg MLA150 laser writer based mask-less aligner system currently located in the Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology (CNST) and The Boulder Microfabrication Facility (BMF).� The upgrades will improve and create new capability for optical focus, advanced field alignment, and external data conversion that will allow users to expose substrate sizes down to 3 mm, enable field by field alignment allowing for an enhanced local alignment accuracy, and provide an optimized data conversion for large (greater than GB) pattern files, respectively. The OEM vendor, Heidelberg Instruments, has the responsibility of maintaining these unique systems. The vendor maintains parts and service engineering availability.� The necessary components and integration expertise are proprietary, and Heidelberg Instruments does not make the parts or procedures needed to complete the upgrades available to any other vendor. No other vendor has the needed information to work on the system. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 334516 and the size standard is 1,000 employees. � No solicitation package will be issued.� This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations; however, all responsible sources interested may identify their interest and capability to respond to this requirement. The Government will consider responses received by 5:00 p.m. Eastern on February 28, 2019. �Inquiries will only be accepted via email to forest.crumpler@nist.gov .� No telephone requests will be honored.�� 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 in the future.�
