- 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 authority of FAR 13.106(b)(1), with Pfeiffer Vacuum, Inc. of Nashua, NH for two Economy Pumping Stations. These pumping stations are widely used at the National Synchrotron Light Source (NSLS, located off site, Upton, NY) where NIST operates 3 x-ray beamlines along with many other outside research laboratories. These stand alone pumping stations are unique in that they are assembled from independent functional modules, responsible for pumping, pressure sensing, power supply, etc. into a single compact unit. NIST requires the compactness of the design of the Pfeiffer pumping station due to the limited real-estate in our experimental facility. It is critical to the research to have 100% compatibility and interchangeability with the existing Pfeiffer Vacuum pumping stations already located at the NSLS. Without these we would not be allowed to operate in our 24/7 mode and we would incur significant downtime and additional expenses should either of the units malfunction. No solicitation package will be issued. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations, however, responses received by August 31, 2007, 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.
