- Description
- ***NOAA's Acquisition & Grants Office, Mountain Region Acquisition Division, intends to negotiate, on a sole source basis, under authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), with the Magnicon GbR for purchase of 2 MFFT-1 sensor modules and 1 set of readout electronics. Magnicon GbR is the only vendor that offers a Johnson noise thermometer with the required temperature range. ***The sole source determination is based on the National Institute of Standards and Technology's (NIST) requirement which can only be met by Magnicon GbR due to the requirement of this thermometer to operate at the required temperature range of 0.01 K to 4 K. These are highly specialized pieces of equipment requiring custom magnet shielding, cabling, a superconducting quantum interference device magnetometer, and dedicated read-out electronics. ***This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals and no solicitation package is available. However, firms that believe they can fully meet the Government's requirements may submit substantiating documentation in writing to the identified point of contact within 5 days after publication of this synopsis. Such documentation will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis. A determination by the Government not to conduct a competitive procurement, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the government. Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice.
