- Description
- The Department of Commerce, 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 Protochips, Inc., Raleigh, NC, for an Upgrade to a TEM Holder, needed by the Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology at NIST, Gaithersburg, Maryland. Sole source determination is based on Protochips, Inc., being the original equipment manufacturer of the existing TEM specimen holder. The existing equipment is a TEM specimen holder along with control electronics and software manufactured by Protochips and designed for in situ heating of specimens in the TEM. The upgrade will consist of an additional holder which will interface with the existing control equipment and software and which will allow simultaneous low level current measurements and heating experiments, an important part of our electrochemical energy storage program. Protochips, Inc, is the only known vendor capable of providing the upgrade to this instrument. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 334516, and the size standard is 500 employees. A determination by the Government whether 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 quotations. However, responses received by Dec 15, 2011 will be considered by the Government. Inquiries will only be accepted via email to judy.pace@nist.gov. No telephone requests will be honored.
