- Description
- The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Acquisition Management Division, on behalf of the Neutron Interactions and Dosimetry Group of the Ionizing Radiation Division, Physical Measurement Laboratory, intends to negotiate, on a sole source basis, under authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), with Swissneutronics AG Klingnau, Switzerland, for the purchase of a Transmission-type Double V-cavity Super Mirror Neutron Polarizer. Sole Source determination is based on the following: The transmission-type double V-cavity Super Mirror Neutron Polarizer will be used for experiments at NIST. This requirement is a replacement for a Polarizer currently in use at NIST and must be identical. Swissneutronics AG has a proprietary custom design and manufacturing process to meet NIST's minimum requirements. Based on the above, Swissneutronics AG is the only vendor capable of providing the required Transmission-type Double V-cavity Super Mirror Neutron Polarizer in order to satisfy the Government's minimum requirements. Swissneutronics AG is the sole manufacturer and distributor. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 334516, 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 March 25, 2011, 3:30 p.m. EST. 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.
