- Description
- The Department of Commerce, National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), intends to negotiate a firm fixed price purchase order, on a sole source basis, with Lion Precision of Shoreview, Minnesota for the purchase of a R-Test Measurement System under other than full and open competition by the authority of FAR subpart 13.106-(b): Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. The Sole Source determination is based on the need for the R-Test Measurement System to operate in accordance with the original equipment specifications from the manufacturer. The Machine Tool Metrology (MTM) Group of the Manufacturing Engineering Laboratory (MEL) is involved in the research and development of advanced measurement techniques and equipment for measuring performance characteristics of machine tools. Geometric accuracy and positioning capability of machine tools are key indicators of machine tool performance. The R-Test Measurement System by Lion Precision is the only commercially available hardware/software to carry out measurement of the relative position and orientation of rotational and translational machine components to enable analysis of 5-axis contouring performance of a machine tool. There are other sensors that may be used to construct measurement system for such purpose, but complicated analysis software needs to be developed in house to accommodate such simpler sensors. Using the commercially available system with its own hardware and software would save the Government significant time and effort eliminating the need to develop new hardware and analysis software. Delivery shall be FOB Destination, Gaithersburg, MD, and be completed in accordance with the Contractor’s commercial schedule. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 334513, 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, interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to this requirement. The Government will consider responses received by 1:00 p.m. (EST) on June 26, 2009. Inquiries will only be accepted via email to janet.lamb@nist.gov. No telephone requests will be honored. 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 in the future.
