- Description
- Solicitation: NB817030-10-17949BS Title: Light Force Resistance Welding System ***NOAA's 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 Miyachi Unitek Corporation of Monrovia, CA, for a light force resistance welding system. ***The sole source determination is based on the National Institute of Standards and Technology's (NIST) requirement for a light force resistance welding system that is able to locate and weld fine wire (0.001" diameter) onto substrates. Wire material includes exotic metals such as niobium. This machine is different from wire bonders in that it can weld materials that wire bonders cannot handle. Through market research, NIST has identified no other companies that make a welding system with a light force weld head, and a power supply that can deliver well controlled, repeatable currents at the low levels required for delicate welding. Specifically, Miyachi Unitek is the only vendor known that is able to provide a power supply that is stable down to 5 amps. Delivery date shall be 30 days ARO. ***This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals and no solicitation package is available. 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 conduct a competitive procurement, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the government. Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice.
