SOLICITATION NUMBER: NB642010-23-02380 RESPONSE DATE: �08/05/23 DESCRIPTION: The National Institute of Standards and Technology's, Materials Science and Engineering Division performs leading-edge measurement science research, working closely with stakeholders to impact a broad range of science and technology areas. Our core areas of competence are grounded in the discipline of materials science and engineering (structure-property-processing relationships) with specific focus on metallurgy, polymer science, and functional materials. This expertise has expanded in recent years to include nanoscale materials (2D materials), complex fluids (colloids, emulsions), advanced devices (electronic, magnetic, energy), and advanced manufacturing (additive, biomanufacturing).�� To further this research NIST must procure identical to existing NIST owned Size-Exclusion Columns. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) intends to negotiate on a sole source basis, under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b) (1), with Sepax Inc located in Newark, Delaware to purchase these SEC columns. Sole Source justification is based on the following: Market research has shown that Sepax is the sole company who can provide these columns to NIST. Sepax is the original column manufacturer utilized in the research and sole provider of this requirement.� NIST needs to continue to use identical products to maintain the integrity of current carbon nanotube metrology research. Sepax has stated they have no authorized resellers for their Size-Exclusion Column product line. �The manufacturer has stated they are the only authorized source in writing. NAICS code for this requirement will be 325998 � All Other Miscellaneous Chemical Product and Preparation Manufacturing with a small business size of 650 employees No solicitation package will be issued. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations; however, interested parties who regard themselves as capable of fulfilling these requirements are invited to submit responses to the Government for consideration. Responses received by 1:00AM EST on 8/5/2023 will be considered by the Government. 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 normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
