- Description
- The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) intends to procure on a sole source basis with PDES, Inc., No. Charleston, SC for membership renewal to the PDES Consortium under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b) Only One Source Reasonably Available. The membership entitles NIST to: exposure of a comprehensive vendor test bed (all major CAD systems); focused pilot projects in high pay-off areas; STEP product testing in dynamic environments over the internet; extensive lessons learned from STEP deployments in industry; training/education from world-leading experts in STEP; insight into industry Enterprise Integration strategies; hands-on experience in using STEP tools and technology; ready access to STEP expertise; direct influence on setting the standard; up-to-date awareness of vendor product capabilities and plans; focused cost sharing and cross industry collaboration on STEP; and membership in the International Industry STEP Centers. This is a sole source procurement since PDES is solely responsible for administering the membership fees collected and is the only source capable of conveying NIST's Manufacturing Engineering Laboratory (MEL) work in manufacturing integration, supply chain interoperability, and manufacturing standards activities - specifically, work in systems integration, conformance testing methods, product data specification representations, and information repositories. A fixed price Purchase order with a two (2) year performance period will be awarded on or about July 8, 2002 using Simplified Acquisition Procedures. Interested parties may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement. This notice of intent is not a request for competition. However, the Government will consider all responses received by the closing date. Written responses to this synopsis shall contain sufficient documentation to establish a bona fide capability to fulfill the requirement. A Request for Quotation (RFQ) will not be issued. See Note 26.
