- 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 ColdQuanta, Inc. for RuBECi Accessories. Sole Source determination is based on the National Institute of Standards and Technology's (NIST) requirement for RuBECi Accessories to include Magnetic Coils, Permanent Magnets, Tranfer Coil, and Opto-Mechanical Prototype Package. Market research indicates that ColdQuanta Inc. is the only known vendor that can provide a complete optical apparatus and highly specialized magnets for NIST's Rb-cell and specialized atom chip. Specifically this vendor is the only supplier of the Rubidium glass compartment with vacuum pump and Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC) cloud controller, or atom chip. The optics and magnet assemblies required must mate exactly to NIST's existing Rb cell. Delivery 60 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.
