- Description
- 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 Chesapeake Mission Critical located at 6500 Virginia Manor Rd., Beltsville, MD 20705. The purchase order will be for three years of maintenance support services and battery and capacitor replacement services for the NIST-owned Eaton UPS 9390.� � 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 811219 � Other Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance with a size standard of $22 Million. � Description The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Wireless Networks Division (WND) owns and operates an Eaton 9390-40-80 UPS. To ensure continuity of research efforts to improve the quality and timeliness of standards for next generation networking technologies, it is critical that the UPS be maintained at full operational performance. Therefore, maintenance support services are required. The UPS was manufactured by Eaton and the components are proprietary to Eaton.� Due to the complex design and concern for safety, Eaton does not allow unauthorized 3rd-party service providers to perform maintenance on Eaton 1-phase and 3-phase UPSs.� Service of UPSs cannot be performed without the use of a Service Toolkit (software). The toolkit is made only available to direct Eaton employees or Authorized reseller partners.� Chesapeake Mission Critical is the only local firm authorized by Eaton for maintenance of their products.� Therefore, Chesapeake Mission Critical is the only source capable of meeting NIST�s requirement and use of any other contractor for the required support services would jeopardize functionality and reliability. It would also risk creation of unacceptable disruptions in on-going research activities. Accordingly, only Chesapeake Mission Critical is capable of supporting this requirement and a sole source acquisition is necessary. 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. January Magyar, Contract Specialist, at January.Magyar@nist.gov. All responses to this notice of intent must be submitted via email to January.Magyar@nist.gov so that they are received no later than May 21st at 10:00AM Eastern Time. Each response should include the following Business Information: Contractor Name, Address, Point of Contact Name, Phone Number, and Email address Contractor UEI Contractor Business Classification (i.e., small business, 8(a), woman owned, hubZone, veteran owned, etc.) as validated in System for Award Management (SAM).
