- Description
- The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Acquisition Management Division intends to negotiate on a sole source with Wolfram Research, Inc., 100 Trade Center Drive, Champaign, IL 61820, under the authority of FAR Subsection 13.106-1(b).

NIST intends to issue a Firm-Fixed-Price purchase order to Wolfram Research, Inc. for this upgrade unless other sources are identified before response date to this posting. The period of performance shall be for one (1) year. The list of contract line item numbers (CLIN), their descriptions, the related quantity of each, and the unit of measure for the upgrade are as follows: CLIN 0001, Premier Service subscription for L2043-6934 Class B Network license with 15 floating seats; Quantity: 1; Unit of Measure, YR; Gaithersburg site.

This notice of intent is not a request for quotation; no solicitation is available, however, any interested party believes it can meet the requirements may submit written notification to the Contracting Officer of their interest and bona fide capability to fulfill the requirements. Supporting evidence must be furnished in sufficient detail to demonstrate the ability to comply with the requirements listed. Such information will be reviewed to determine if it is necessary to conduct a competitive procurement. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed requirement is solely within the discretion of the Government.
