Description

Amendment 1: This amendment modifies the Request for Quote and Statement of Work (SOW), to a Brand Name or Equal requirement. While the Mettler-Toledo XPR26DR is preferred, vendors wishing to submit quotes for equivalent products that match the Mettler-Toledo XPR26DR, and meet all specifications and requirements in the SOW, may submit quotes in response to this RFQ. Modified attachments are posted with the amendment The submission deadline and other terms/conditions remain unchanged. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THIS IS A COMBINED SYNOPSIS/SOLICITATION FOR COMMERCIAL ITEMS PREPARED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FORMAT IN SUBPART 12.6, AS SUPPLEMENTED WITH ADDITIONAL INFORMATION INCLUDED IN THIS NOTICE. THIS ANNOUNCEMENT CONSTITUTES THE ONLY SOLICITATION; QUOTATIONS ARE BEING REQUESTED AND A WRITTEN SOLICITATION WILL NOT BE ISSUED. Solicitation number NB686010-23-02098 is a Request for Quotation (RFQ) conducted under the authority of FAR 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures. This RFQ, incorporated provisions, and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 2023-04. The associated NAICS 334516 code has a small business size standard of 1,000 employees. This is an unrestricted, Brand Name Only requirement. Background: The National Institute of Standards and Technology's Sources and Detectors Group maintains laser power meters, some of which use force as the traceable parameter. This requires a precision microbalance to assure the stability of our reference masses. As the originally intended microbalance is discontinued, in order to maintain the accuracy and continuity of all ongoing activities, the group requires a Mettler-Toledo XPR26DR due to its matching, unique operating parameters. The proper equipment will allow NIST researchers to verify the stability of the reference mass artifacts that give traceability for the primary standard radiation pressure power meter. Attached are the specifications describing the requirements for solicitation NB686010-23-02098. Questions regarding this RFQ shall be sent to the contracting officer listed below. All quotes shall be submitted electronically to the Contracting Officer, Aaron Ritter, at aaron.ritter@nist.gov no later than 10:00 a.m. on June 23, 2023.
