- Description
- The National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Acquisition & Grants Office, Western Acquisition Division, Boulder, intends to negotiate, on a sole source basis, under authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), with Advance Research Corporation (ARC), Inc. for twelve custom fabricated coplanar waveguide assemblies and mechanical tooling. Sole Source determination is based on the National Institute of Standards and Technology's (NIST) requirements which can only be met by ARC fabrication of coplanar waveguide assemblies with 40 GHz bandwidth using dry etching technology to limit variations in critical waveguide dimensions to less than +/- 1 micrometer over a waveguide length of 50 mm. Based on market research ARC is the only known vendor that has demonstrated the ability to fabricate 600 micrometer diameter Cu "vias" in 10 mil thick alumina substrates suitable for broadband coplanar waveguides. Delivery 45 days after receipt of order. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals; however, firms that believe they can provide equipment that fully meets the Government's requirements may submit substantiating documentation in writing to the identified point of contact within 15 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 compete this proposed effort on a competitive basis, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the government. Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice.
