- Description
- Notice Type: Notice of Intent - Sole Source The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Acquisition Management Division, on behalf of the NIST Engineering Laboratory, intends to negotiate with The National Institute of Building Sciences; Washington, DC, on a sole source basis under the authority of FAR Subpart 13.106-1 (b), Soliciting from a Single Source, to obtain the services described below. Background: The NIST Engineering Laboratory (EL) restarted its Earthquake Risk Reduction in Buildings R&D Program in 2007 and has steadily built its capabilities since that time. The capabilities include both an in-house research group and an extramural research program. During this four-year period, the Earthquake Risk Reduction in Buildings R&D Program has undertaken a number of research projects that had been previously identified through work performed by NIST's partners in the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP) and are consistent with the Applied Technology Council's ATC-57 activities outline. There is now a need to develop a detailed Measurement Science roadmap for this Earthquake Risk Reduction in Buildings and Infrastructure Program. Market research shows that the National Institute of Building Sciences (NIBS) is the only organization that can provide the services required by NIST. Public Law 93-383 has been incorporated into 12 USC Sec. 1701. Sec. 1701j-2, states that "Every department, agency, and establishment of the Federal Government having responsibility for building or construction, or for building or construction-related programs, is authorized and encouraged to contract with and accept contracts from the Institute where deemed appropriate by the responsible Federal official involved". The NAICS Code is 541712. NIST anticipates negotiating and awarding a firm-fixed-price purchase order to NIBS for this requirement. Interested parties that believe they could satisfy the requirements listed above for NIST to provide the journals necessary may clearly and unambiguously identify their capability to do so in writing on or before July 5, 2011 at 12 pm EST. This notice of intent is not a solicitation. Information submitted in response to this notice will be used solely to determine whether competitive procedures could be used for this acquisition. Any questions regarding this notice must be submitted in writing via email to Divya Soni at divya.soni@nist.gov.
