Description

The United States Department of Commerce (DOC), National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Acquisition Management Division (AMD) intends to negotiate a five-year term Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA), on a sole source basis, with Rees Scientific Corporation at 1007 Whitehead Road, Suite 1, Ewing, NJ 08638-2405. �The statutory authority for this sole source acquisition is FAR 13.106-1(b) by the authority of FAR Part 13 Simplified Acquisition. The Material Measurement Laboratory develops and applies standards and methods for analytical and bioanalytical measurements to ensure bioassay performance for identification and quantitation of molecular and biological species; works to improve the quality and reliability of measurements in the biological sciences; supports a broad range of health, defense, environmental, and energy research related activities and customers; uses state-of-the-art techniques and methods to explore and resolve measurement issues in molecular biology, nanobiotechnology, immunology, biophysical chemistry, molecular spectrometry and surface chemistry. To aid in meeting its mission, the Material Measurement Laboratory has implemented and installed the Rees Scientific Temperature Monitoring Systems in Divisions 644, 645, 646 and the Office of Reference Materials (ORM) for temperature monitoring of fridges, freezers, rooms and incubators. The Rees system monitors temperature ranges sending notification to the identified user by email or phone call when the temperature is out of range. The proposed acquisition is to obtain annual maintenance and repair services, as well as additional hardware to increase capacity for the Rees Temperature Monitoring Systems used throughout NIST and the MML. Rees Scientific is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) for the required equipment and does not license the sale or distribution of its equipment, parts or software through resellers or third parties.� These systems are used as shared resources that are accessible to researchers from industry, academia, NIST and other government agencies. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 811219 and the size standard is $22M. � 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 12:00 p.m. Eastern on March 13, 2020. �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.�
