- Description
- In the absence of other qualified sources (41 U.S.C. 253 (c)(1), and in accordance with FAR 6.302-1 and as supplemented with additional information included in this notice, it is the intent of the U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC), National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Physical and Chemical Properties Division, Thermodynamics Research Center (TRC) to negotiate with only one source, Dr. Ilmutdin M. Abdulagoatov for services for the implementation and enhancement of data capture procedures (with Guided Data Capture (GCD) software developed at NIST) for thermophysical and thermochemical properties of pure compounds, binary and ternary mixtures, and chemical reactions with preliminary critical data evaluation. This award may be issued with a base period and one, one-year option. This is not a request for competitive proposals. A determination by the Government not to compete this action based on this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Any information received in response to this notice will be considered for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Interested parties who believe they can meet the agency?s requirements are requested to submit in writing an affirmative response demonstrating their technical capabilities. To be considered an affirmative response, the response must include detailed technical information and other technical literature demonstrating the ability to meet the stated requirements. Interested parties must address each of the mandatory requirements listed in sufficient detail to permit agency analysis to establish a bona fide capability to meet requirements. Failure to submit documentation will result in the agency proceeding as stated above. Anticipated award date is March 19, 2007. This notice is for information purposes only. No formal solicitation will be issued. STATEMENT The Physical and Chemical Properties Division, Thermodynamics Research Center (TRC) has a need for the implementation of data quality assessment (DQA) procedures for the captured data through compilation of the SOURCE Database and application of ThermoData Engine software developed and maintained by the TRC of the NIST in Boulder, Colorado. Development of DQA algorithms and implementation of volumetric properties of pure components in the SOURCE Database, also developed and maintained by NIST/TRC. General skills involve software-based data collection operation management skills combined with extensive experience in experimental chemical thermodynamics, thermophysics, chemistry and chemical engineering, including theoretical interpretation and error propagation analysis. Specialized skills include demonstrated familiarity with the TRC data systems and, in particular, TRC SOURCE data system. SOURCE data system is a major relational archival system developed and maintained by TRC to store ?raw? experimental data for thermophysical, thermochemical and transport properties of pure compounds, binary and ternary systems as well as chemical reactions. SOURCE data system is also a powerful tool to produce various compilations and critical evaluations of data in both hard-copy and electronic forms. This work targets further enhancement of NIST/TRC SOURCE database, which serves as the foundation for ThermoData Engine (TDE) software developed by TRC, which implements the concept of dynamic data evaluation to provide on-demand recommended thermophysical and thermochemical property data for binary mixtures.
