- Description
- The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) intends to negotiate, on a sole-source basis, with Precision Plastics, INC; 6405 Ammendale Rd, Beltsville, MD; for one (1) �detector light tight box and �one (1) source box under the authority of FAR Part 13.106-1(b), to be used by Physical Measurements Laboratory (PML), in Gaithersburg, MD. � ***** Sole source determination is based on the need to acquire one (1) optical detector light tight box and� one (1) source box for rebuilding the UVSCF, ultra violet spectral comparator facility, and expanding it from a footprint of a 4' by 6' table to a 4' by 12' table. This rebuild will require larger translation stages, an expanded optical set up, and a greater variety of optical sources, resulting in requiring a larger table. For the UVSCF measurements the optical detectors are required to be isolated from the room and ambient lighting, and thus need to be contained in a light tight box. In addition, a source box to contain all the harmful UV radiation from the different UV sources and contain the UV light, but also contain the 360-degree light scatter from the sources is required. These boxes are custom to the optical layouts of the sources, the detectors, the translation stages, the optical setups, and the optical sources. The chosen manufacturer must design them to meet NIST�s specifications. The boxes are large, 4' tall, 5'wide and 8' long for the light tight detector box, and 4' tall, 4' wide, and 5' long for the source box. Precision Plastics is the only known manufacturer of large light tight boxes who can design the boxes with light tight doors, cable pass through boxes, the counter balanced door operations, and can deliver and install the custom boxes on site. Precision Plastics 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 July 15, 2021 will be considered by the government. Responses shall be submitted via email to tracy.bisson@nist.gov .
