- 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 INGENIEURBURO STRONCIWILK, of Berlin, Germany, for the acquisition of Lithium-6 Fluoride-Based Flexible Neutron Shielding Material. *****Sole source determination is based on the required material having unique properties for neutron shielding in that the material has a very high capacity for absorbing neutrons, produces minimal secondary radiation, and is flexible and machinable and therefore easily shaped to provide customized shielding configurations. The key ingredient of the material is Lithium Fluoride enriched in the isotope Lithium-6. This ingredient is incorporated in a flexible polymer material through a proprietary process. INGENIEURBURO STRONCIWILK is the only known vendor capable of supplying the required material. ***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 the 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 Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 332999, and the size standard is 500 Employees. ******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.
