- Description
- ***The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), intends to negotiate, on a sole source basis, under authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), with Veeco Metrology Group LLC in Santa Barbara, CA 93117 for the purchase and installation of a Veeco Metrology Group LLC Tunneling/Conductive Atomic Force Microscope (TUNA/CAFM) application module and required hardware updates for the existing instrumentation system to allow the TUNA/CAFM to operate.*** The required equipment is an add on function to an existing instrumentation system consisting of a Nanoscope IIIa scanning probe microscope controller, Dimension 5000 sample stage and controller and an Atomic Force Microscope model DMLS, serial #DMLS-142G. The required application module requires the existing instrumentation to function. The existing instrumentation provides the majority of the function of the complete instrument; the application module extends the capability of the existing instrument. Since the existing instrumentation is proprietary no other source is available for the required application module. The existing instrumentation was originally supplied by Digital Instruments, which is now owned by Veeco Metrology Group LLC. "TUNA", is a proprietary operation mode of the Veeco Metrology Group LLC system, so no other supplier can offer "TUNA." *** ***Delivery shall be FOB Destination, Gaithersburg, MD, and is required within 90 days after receipt of order.******The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 333314, and the size standard is 500 employees.*** ***No solicitation package will be issued. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations; however, the Government will consider responses received by March 31, 2004.*** 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.***Any questions/concerning regarding this notice should be forwarded in writing via e-mail to the Purchasing Agent, Joni L. Laster @ joni.laster@nist.gov***
