- Description
- The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) intends to procure on a sole source basis, using Simplified Acquisition Procedures, under the authority of FAR 6.302-1(a)(2), with PI Group, Potomac MD, National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP) to Assist NIST in Meeting ISO 17043 Standards for Proficiency Testing to Meet NVLAP Accreditation Requirements, and Technical guidance related to Engine Fuel Quality, Greenhouse Gas Emissions, and Forensics Sciences. Our strategy is to conduct a sole source, firm fixed price acquisition to be awarded to PI Group for requirements and technical guidance as related to Engine Fuel Quality, Greenhouse Gas Emissions, and Forensic Sciences; revision of NIST IR 6988; and meeting ISO/IEC DIS 17043 for proficiency testing. The selection of PI Group is based on the company’s specific unique qualifications based on their in-depth knowledge and hands-on implementation skills in Laboratory Accreditation. For another company to perform the required research and development would entail extensive review and mastery of our existing tools, standards, test methods, and procedures. Based on these observations, PI Group is the only qualified, most cost effective, company to assist NIST in this research and development effort. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations; however, the government will consider other responses received by the deadline. 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.
