- Description
- The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Acquisition Management Division intends to negotiate with Cross Company, located in Greensboro, NC, on a sole source basis under the authority of FAR Subpart 13.106-1(b), soliciting from a single source, for Mass Flow Controllers. �� Specific Requirements are as follows: Minimum technical specifications: Meters to model. The meters should cover the flow range of 3 sccm nitrogen gas to 1000 sccm nitrogen gas with 0.5�% or better uncertainty in mass flow. 6 mass flow controllers that cover the flow range of 3 sccm N2 gas flow to 2600 sccm N2 gas flow. 1 coriolis meter that covers the flow range of 60 sccm N2 gas flow to 1000 sccm N2 gas flow. The process connections will be 1/4� inch male VCR 2.5 m long cables will be provided for power/communications to both meter types This shall be provided and accomplished in accordance with these specifications. NAICS Code is 334513 �Instruments and Related Products Manufacturing for Measuring, Displaying, and Controlling Industrial Process Variables, with a Size Standard of 750 employees. NIST anticipates negotiating and awarding a firm-fixed-price purchase order to Cross Company for this requirement. Interested parties that can demonstrate they could satisfy the requirement listed above for NIST must clearly and unambiguously identify their capability to do so in writing on or before the response date for this notice. This notice of intent is not a solicitation. Information submitted in response to this notice will be used solely to determine whether competitive procedures could be used for this acquisition. If competitive procedures are not used it is estimated that an award will be issued by 8/12/2023. Any questions regarding this notice must be submitted in writing via email to angela.hitt@nist.gov. All responses to this notice of intent must be submitted to angela.hitt@nist.gov no later than the date and time provided herein this posting. JUSTIFICATION FOR OTHER THAN FULL AN OPEN COMPETITION: NIST needs to procure very low flow mass flow controllers (MFCs) and a coriolis meter. The MFCs and coriolis meter will cover the flow range of 3 sccm N2 gas to 1000 sccm N2 gas with 0.5�% uncertainty or better. The meters are a key component to the research performed on the new primary standard intended to measure the flow of semiconductor process gasses. The research will provide physical models of how meters behave in semiconductor process gases. NIST needs multiple meter types from multiple manufacturers to successfully carry out this research. NIST does not have any meters of this size and type from Cross Company manufactured by Brooks. ����
