- Description
- The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) intends to negotiate, on a sole source basis, under authority of FAR 13.106-1(b) (1), with Optosigma of Santa Ana, CA for the acquisition of XYZ Micropositioners to be used by the Semiconductor Electronics Division (SED) at NIST, Gaithersburg, Maryland. The Semiconductor Electronics Division (SED) provides leadership in developing the semiconductor measurement infrastructure essential to improving U.S. economic competitiveness. It provides necessary measurements, physical standards, and supporting data and technology; associated generic technology; and fundamental research results to industry, government, and academia. The primary mission of the Division is to provide technical leadership to industry, government, and academia in research and development of the semiconductor measurement needs essential to the silicon microelectronics industry, advanced semiconductor materials technologies, and advanced electronic devices based upon molecular or quantum structures. The Division's programs also respond to industry measurement needs related to MicroElectroMechanical Systems (MEMS), power electronics, and various sub-areas of nanotechnology including nanoelectronics, nanocharacterization, nanobiotechnology, and plastic electronics. NIST's Semiconductor Electronics Division owns a NIST designed and built measurement system. The measurement system is used for long term electron device reliability testing. During the design and development of the measurement system, Optosigma Corporations 25 mm XYZ Micropositioners were utilized. The proprietary design of Optosigma Corporations 25 mm XYZ Micropositioners is an essential portion of the measurement system. No other manufacturer of 25 mm XYZ Micropositioners is capable of the integration. Optosigma Corporation is the sole manufacturer and sole distributor of the 25 mm XYZ Micropositioners, in addition, the 25 mm XYZ Micropositioners design is proprietary to Optosigma Corporation. The use of another manufacturers 25 mm XYZ Micropositioners will hinder the mission of the Semiconductor Electronics Divisions mission, in addition, the time, effort, and cost to redesign the measurement system will be significant. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 333314, and the size standard is 500 employees. 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 be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. No solicitation package will be issued. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations. However, responses received by June 17, 2011 will be considered by the Government.
