- Description
- The United States Department of Commerce (DOC), National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Acquisition Management Division (AMD) intends to negotiate, on a sole source basis, with STAR Cryoelectronics LLC, 25 Bisbee Ct, Suite A; Santa Fe, NM 87508-1338 for the purchase of one (1) HTS SQUID magnetometer system to be utilized by NIST�s Physical Measurements Laboratory (PML). The statutory authority for this acquisition is 41 USC 3304(a)(1); FAR 13.106-1(b). ***** Sole source determination is based on the need to acquire one (1) HTS SQUID magnetometer system. The HTS SQUID magnetometer system is needed in order to rapidly characterize the magnetic properties of thermosensitive magnetic nanoparticles at AC frequencies and drive fields similar to those which will be used in our temperature imaging instrument. The high temperature superconductor (HTS) Superconducting QUantum Interference Device (SQUID) system to be acquired will be used for magnetic and thermal characterization of the magnetic nanoparticles NIST synthesizes. The required system must be provided by STAR Cryoelectronics as they are the original manufacturer (OEM) of NIST owned STAR Cryoelectronics SQUID devices and is the only system compatible with NIST developed LabVIEW software to interact with the STAR Cryo controller thus, only their system is compatible. � STAR Cryoelectronics LLC is the sole manufacturer and distributor of the equipment identified that meets the required minimum specifications. *****The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 334516 � Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing, with a small business 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; however, all responsible sources interested may identify their interest and capability to respond to this requirement. 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 11:59 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on May 11, 2020 will be considered by the government. �Responses shall be submitted via email to tracy.bisson@nist.gov or adam.powell@nist.gov
