- NOTICE OF INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE Wasson ECE Gas Chromatograph / Mass Spectrometer System Announcement Type: Special Notice Announcement Number: NIST-NOI-22-73-02972 PSC Code: 6640 � Laboratory Equipment and Supplies Subject: Wasson ECE Gas Chromatograph / Mass Spectrometer System � Introduction This is a notice of intent, not a request for a quotation. A solicitation document will not be issued and quotations will not be requested. Purpose The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) intends to negotiate a firm-fixed priced purchase order on a sole source basis with Wasson-ECE Instrumentation, Inc. located at 101 Rome Court, Fort Collins, Colorado 80524. The purchase order will be for a Gas Chromatograph / Mass Spectrometer System which shall be delivered within twelve weeks after contractor receipt of order. Authority This acquisition is being conducted under the authority of FAR Subpart 13.106(b)(1) allowing the Contracting Officer (CO) to solicit from one source. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 334516 � Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing with a size standard of 1,000 Employees. Description Please see the attached Statement of Need for details. Sole Source Determination The sole source determination is based on the following: � The NIST Engineering Laboratory Fire Research Division requires one new all-in-one Gas Chromatograph (GC) / Mass Spectrometer (MS) system with particular functions to address research requirements. Specifically, NIST requires a GC/MS system equipped with flame ionization detectors, mass selectivity detectors, and thermal conductivity detectors configured for gas sampling, automated ambient liquid and solid-phase micro-extraction headspace, and thermal desorption tube analysis. NIST also requires a GC/MS system with automated sample injection systems which are supported in tandem rather than individually. Each of these features is essential for NIST research requirements. Market research finds that there is only one contractor capable of addressing all of NIST's requirements: Wasson-ECE Instrumentation, Inc. No other contractor can satisfy NIST needs. Accordingly, a sole source acquisition is necessary and appropriate; only Wasson-ECE Instrumentation, Inc. is capable of meeting this requirement. � Information for Interested Parties Interested parties that believe they could satisfy the requirements listed above for NIST may clearly and unambiguously identify their capability to do so in writing by or before the response date for this notice. This notice of intent is not a solicitation. Any questions regarding this notice must be submitted in writing via email to Ms. Lauren Roller, Contract Specialist, at Lauren.Roller@nist.gov. All responses to this notice of intent must be submitted via email to Lauren.Roller@nist.gov so that they are received no later than October 13, 2021 at 11:00 AM Eastern Time. Each response should include the following Business Information: Contractor Name, Address, Point of Contact Name, Phone Number, and Email address Contractor DUNS Contractor Business Classification (i.e., small business, 8(a), woman owned, hubZone, veteran owned, etc.) as validated in System for Award Management (SAM). All offerors must register in the SAM located at http://www.sam.gov/portal/SAM/#1 Capability Statement
