- Description
- RECOVERY – PRE-SOLICITATION NOTICE THIS PROJECT IS BEING FUNDED BY THE AMERICAN RECOVERY AND REINVESTMENT ACT OF 2009. This pre-solicitation notice is hereby issued in accordance with the requirements of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 5.704. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) requires Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC) and Manual Turning Machines or Lathes. The CNC and Manual Lathes use various types of cutting tools to precisely turn / machine through materials to create complex geometric shapes to the desired configuration and tolerance. The CNC and Manual Lathes will be used for manufacturing and fabrication support services provided by the Fabrication Technology Division (FTD) of NIST. A lathe is a machine tool which spins material to perform various operations such as cutting, sanding, knurling, drilling, or deformation with tools that are applied to the work piece to create an object which has symmetry about an axis of rotation. Lathes are used in metalworking, metal spinning, and glass working. Most suitably equipped metalworking lathes are used to produce most solids of revolution, plane surfaces and screw threads or helices. The material is held in place by either one or two centers, at least one of which can be moved horizontally to accommodate varying material lengths. Lathes may be manually operated, mechanically automated, or digitally automated via CNC. The Fabrication Technology Division (FTD) provides a wide range of engineering, fabrication and technical services to support the creation of unique measurement instruments and scientific apparatus needed by researchers in the NIST's Measurement and Standards Laboratories. FTD provides the mission critical engineering and manufacturing expertise and equipment needed to produce specialized parts and subassemblies for the extraordinary variety of one-of-a-kind instruments conceived by NIST scientists and engineers. FTD’s primary line of service is metal fabrication, mechanical engineering, and electromechanical assembly. This service is used to engineer and fabricate high precision components and assemblies for use in one-of-a-kind measurement instruments conceived by NIST scientist and engineers. FTD depends on its installed base of manufacturing technology to support the many service needs of its customers. This manufacturing technology base includes a full family of automated and conventional milling machines, lathes, grinders, electrical discharge machines, boring mills and other related manufacturing equipment. This acquisition is necessary to maintain and upgrade our CNC turning capabilities, replace manual lathes that are costly to repair and to improve the efficiency of preparing a wide range of high precision turned parts on CNC Lathes/turning machines. Delivery terms shall be FOB DESTINATION. The delivery schedule shall be stated in the request for quotation. The NAICS code for this requirement is 333512 with a small business size standard of 500 employees. This requirement is being procured using full & open competition. This requirement is not set-aside for small business. Simplified Acquisition Procedures shall be utilized under the authority of FAR 13.5 Test Program for Certain Commercial Items. One or more of the items under this acquisition is subject to World Trade Organization Government Procurement Agreement and Free Trade Agreements. Potential Offerors will be responsible for obtaining this solicitation and related Amendments, if any, from www.fbo.gov after the solicitation has been posted. It is, and will continue to be, the responsibility of each potential Offeror to monitor www.fbo.gov for any amendments or other information related to the solicitation; the Government will not be maintaining a mailing list. Any communications regarding this acquisition must be made in writing and forwarded via email to todd.hill@nist.gov, and shall identify the solicitation number, company name, company address, as well as point of contact email address and phone number. Offerors shall be actively registered in the Central Contractor Registration website at www.ccr.gov, in order to be eligible to receive a contract under this acquisition. NIST anticipates posting the solicitation approximately fifteen (15) days after the date of publication of this notice.
