- Description
- The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Acquisition Management Division, on behalf of the Biotechnical Science Division, intends to negotiate, on a sole source basis, under authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), with Carl Zeiss Microimaging, Inc., for the purchase of a Zeiss Axio Observer Microscope. Sole Source determination is based on the following: NIST currently utilizes other Carl Zeiss microscopes in the laboratory, and requires compatibility among all data sets. Purchase of any other brand of microscope would skew the data set comparisons. The required equipment must be 100 percent compatible with the existing equipment. Carl Zeiss Microimaging, Inc., is the sole manufacturer and distributor. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 334516, 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 April 20, 2007, 3:30 p.m. EST. 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.
