- Description
- NOTICE OF INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE: This requirement is conducted under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.501. �This is a notice of intent to negotiate a sole source procurement only and is not a request for competitive quotations. �However, contractors who want to challenge this sole source must submit a capabilities statement that demonstrates their ability to meet this requirement. The capabilities statement must demonstrate your organizations� ability to provide the product(s) and/or service(s) capabilities as described within this notice, as well as the associated Specifications Document. Only responses received by 10:00A.M. Mountain Daylight Time on August 19, 2020, will be considered by the Government directly to Patricia Rose, Contracting Officer, at patricia.rose@nist.gov and email subject header must include NB687080-20-02932. No solicitation package will be issued. Responses received will be evaluated; however, a determination by the Government not to compete the proposed procurement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will typically be considered solely to determine whether to conduct a competitive procurement. NIST shall not reimburse for any cost(s) connected with providing the capabilities statement. Therefore, 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 Swift Science and Engineering of New Mexico. The statutory authority for this acquisition is 41 USC 1901 and FAR 13.501. The requirement is assigned NAICS code 541690 � Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services, and Small Business Size Standard is 1,000 employees. DELIVERABLES: Physics Consulting Services per attached SOW including: Consulting services on real fluid behavior in cryocoolers - 1) Modeling studies of cryocoolers over a wide range of operating conditions, interpretation of physics and modeling results, and guidance to improve designs, 2) Interpretation of experimental data and model outputs from ongoing experiments on real fluids in cryocoolers ������������ATTACHMENTS/REFERENCES:� see attached specifications. JUSTIFICATION: A key development, that supports this long-term goal and projects, is improving the understanding and modeling of the physics of real fluid in the coupled oscillating pressure and flow fields in cryocoolers by comparing experimental data output of physics models and revising the models where necessary. NIST will use this improved understanding to design a range of cryocooler subcomponents with better performance than is currently achieved in commercial systems. Combined knowledge of the physics, modeling, and numerical simulation tools for real-fluid effects in the coupled oscillating pressure and flow fields in low-temperature cryocoolers is very rare. Based on market research there are no other vendors with the combined knowledge and capabilities available to perform these tasks.
