Description

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Acquisition Management Division, on behalf of the Ceramics Division, intends to negotiate on a sole source basis under the authority of FAR 13.106(b)(1), with Princeton Instruments, of Trenton, NJ, for an Imaging Spectrograph/Monochromator. NIST requires a high-throughput, single dispersion stage, imaging spectrograph that provides accurate imaging of the entrance slit onto the exit focal plane for Raman studies of semiconductor nanowires and other optoelectronic materials. NIST currently utilizes a Princeton Instruments Spec-10 liquid nitrogen cooled CCD array detector. The spectrograph/monochromator being purchased must be 100 percent compatible with the existing equipment, hardware and software considered. The two systems will be required to run together and be controlled by the same hardware and software. Sole source determination is based on the following: The software and hardware are proprietary to Princeton Instruments. No other vendor can provide equipment that is hardware and software compatible. Princeton Instruments is the sole manufacturer and distributor of the equipment. No solicitation package will be issued. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations; however, responses received by August 25, 2006 will be considered by the Government. 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.
