- Description
- NASA/JSC has a requirement for a Zeiss Axiovert 200 MAT metallograph with excellent quality digital graphics that allows for easy operation and affords clear and concise pictures. The Zeiss Axiovert 200 MAT has the following specifications: 1) a unique black and white digital camera system that produces high resolution digital pictures, (competitors have gone to color which does not produce high quality images necessary for failure analysis); 2) differential interference contrast (DIC) analysis which operates with circular polarized light that solves imaging problems; 3) quick and easy operations with a motorized turret; and, 4) the required low magnification eyepieces to obtain macro images. NASA/JSC intends to purchase the item from Carl Zeiss, Inc. in accordance with Federal Acquisiton Regulation 6.302-1. Zeiss is a manufacturer in a limited and highly specialized field. No other company can provide equipment that meets the Government's requirements for quality and accuracy. The Government intends to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12. Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort in writing to the identified point of contact not later than 4:30 p.m. local time on July 22, 2003. Such capabilities/qualifications will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed effort on a full and open competition basis, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the government. Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice. All responsible sources may submit an offer which shall be considered by the agency. An Ombudsman has been appointed.
