- Description
- ***The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), intends to negotiate, on a sole source basis, under authority of FAR 6.302-1 with Princeton Instruments in Trenton, NJ for the purchase of a PI Acton PIXUS Digital CCD Camera.*** *** NIST cites FAR 6.302-1(a)(ii)(A) and (B) (see excerpt below) as primary rationale for Sole Source Determination. (ii) Supplies may be deemed to be available only from the original source in the case of a follow-on contract for the continued development or production of a major system or highly specialized equipment, including major components thereof, when it is likely that award to any other source would result in -- (A) Substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition, or (B) Unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency's requirements. (See 10 U.S.C. 2304(d)(1)(B) or 41 U.S.C. 253 (d)(1)(B). *** Previously NIST has purchased other CCD systems from Princeton Instruments. In order to use these cameras, NIST has expended many resources into engineering calibration test set certified data analysis, acquisition programs and extended wavelength optics to be compatible with existing Princeton Instrument CCD Cameras. NIST currently has a need for a Princeton Instruments PI Acton PIXUS Digital CCD Camera which is 100% compatible with the existing cameras as well as the existing acquisition programs, wavelength optics, etc. Procuring a CCD camera from another vendor would result in duplication in cost to the Government. Princeton Instruments is the sole manufacturer and distributor of this system. ***Delivery shall be FOB Destination, Gaithersburg, MD, and is required within 4 weeks after receipt of order.*** ***The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 339999, and the size standard is 500 employees.*** ***No solicitation package will be issued. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations; however, the Government will consider responses received by August 31, 2010.*** 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.
