- 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 BOC Edwards, Inc., Wilmington, MA 01887 for the purchase of up to 15 Mobile High Vacuum Turbo Pumping Systems (carts) (if all options exercised). Sole source determination is based primarily on the need for a common interface that is used throughout the NIST Center for Neutron Research (NCNR) facility. NIST currently maintains an inventory of approximately sixty carts that were originally procured on a competitive basis. These carts contain unique features that include a complete mobility of the system including frame ? mounted components and a relay box. The relay box is a unique safety feature that protects not only the operator, but the system itself and equipment it is connected to as well. Operation of the system is achieved by single button control. BOC Edwards is the sole manufacturer of the equipment which includes unique capabilities that are required to satisfy the Government?s minimum requirements. Delivery shall be FOB Destination and be completed in accordance with the Contractor?s commercial schedule. As defined in the federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), FOB Destination means: The contractor shall pack and mark the shipment in conformance with carrier requirements, deliver the shipment in good order and condition to the point of delivery specified in the purchase order, be responsible for any loss of and/or damage to the goods occurring before receipt and acceptance of the shipment by the consignee at delivery point specified in the purchase order, and pay all charges to the specified point of delivery. The contractor shall deliver all line items to NIST, Gaithersburg, Maryland, 20899-0001. The North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 333911, 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 21 August 2006. 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.
