- 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 Horiba Scientific, 20 Knightsbridge Road, Piscataway, NJ 08854 for the purchase of one (1) electron-multiplying charge couple device (EMCCD) camera 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) electron-multiplying charge couple device (EMCCD) camera. The EMCCD camera will be used to acquire CL, PL, and Raman spectral data of two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides and single quantum emitters (such as quantum dots, organic dye molecules, vacancy-related centers in diamonds or carbides, and nanocavities) in the environmental transmission electron microscopy (ETEM). The required camera must be compatible with the single control graphical user interface-based control software that provides the full control of the system composed of the EMCCD camera and the preexisting Horiba Scientific iHR-550 spectrometer. Horiba Scientific is the original manufacturer (OEM) of NIST owned Horiba Scientific iHR-550 spectrometer and is the only system compatible with existing control software to interact with the Horiba Scientific iHR-550 spectrometer thus, only their camera is compatible. � Horiba Scientific 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
