- Description
- The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in Gaithersburg, Maryland intends to negotiate and award a purchase order using simplified acquisition procedures on a sole source basis under the authority of FAR 13.106(b)(1), with Carl Zeiss SMT, Inc. in Peabody, MA for One (1) ORION-LN2 Source Cooling System and Two (2) ORION-VAV variable accelerating voltage. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 334516, and the size standard is 500. The components required shall be an upgrade to an existing Orion He Ion Microscope originally purchased from Carl Zeiss SMT, Inc. Carl Zeiss SMT, Inc. is now offering an upgrade to the current system that will allow working at variable landing energies. By adding better and new capabilities to the existing system, the variety of applications and the quality of the work possible will significantly increase beyond the capabilities of the current system. Carl Zeiss SMT, Inc. will install these proprietary additions. These components are fully integrated with the base instrumentation, which provides reliability and data integrity that in general, in many cases cannot be achieved with other third party solutions. These much needed upgrades of the Orion He Ion Microscope, can only be obtained from Carl Zeiss SMT, Inc. because they are manufactured and sold by Carl Zeiss SMT, Inc and there are no other distributors. No solicitation package will be issued. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations, however, responses received by April 23, 2010 will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government whether 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.
