- 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 Telops, Inc., of Quebec, Canada, for the acquisition of a Telops Infrared Dual-Automated Calibration System to be used in the Optical Technology Division of the Physics Laboratory at the National Institute of Standards and Technology, Gaithersburg, Maryland. Sole source determination is based on the fact that, in order to effect calibration of its existing Telops Infrared Interferometer, NIST requires a Telops Infrared Dual-Automated Calibration System for the existing Telops TMOD-ER Infrared Interferometer in its lab (serial number TEL-1922). The Telops Infrared Dual-Automated Calibration System is designed for this specific model of Interferometer, and is plug-in compatible. No other source exists that can provide a compatible, plug-in system as a commercial item. Telops Inc. is the only known vendor capable of supplying the required Infrared Dual-Automated Calibration System. ***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 334516, 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. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. *****No solicitation package will be issued.
