Description

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) intends to enter into a sole source procurement with Dr. William C. Thomas to provide services to the NIST Heat Transfer and Alternative Energy Systems Group. Dr. Thomas will provide a computer model to select the appropriate control parameters for precise temperature control of the new NIST 500 mm guarded-hot-plate apparatus. Specific objectives of the requirement include: Develop mathematical model of the new apparatus, validate the mathematical model using data from the new apparatus, select appropriate control parameters for use in the new apparatus, and document results of the analysis. Dr. Thomas is uniquely qualified in the area of control techniques for guarded hot plate apparatus and is an internationally recognized leader in the area of heat and mass transfer with special interest in modeling energy and moisture processes for applications to thermal processes, energy conservation, and industrial equipment. Additionally, NIST is not aware of any other individual/organization that has this unique expertise to fulfill the required tasks. The Government anticipates the award of a commercial firm-fixed price (FFP) purchase order for a twelve (12) month period of performance on or about September 15, 2003. The proposed requirement is for services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b). Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed requirement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. A Request for Quotation (RFQ) package is not available.
