To be be installed in an AFM system enclosed in an environmental chamber under other than full and open competition by the authority of FAR subpart 13.106(b)(1). Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements: A sole source determination is based on the following: Only Renishaw can meet the NIST technical requirements. Specifically no other vendor can meet the NIST requirements for: Compact Differential Laser system. The compact differential laser system (interferometer,optics, and mount, fibre optic pick-up) will be installed in an atomic force microscope (AFM) enclosed in an environmental chamber. The AFM that the compact differential laser system will be attached to is a Veeco Insight CD-AFM. Due to the design of this instrument and our intended use, the size and design of a laser system that could be attached to it is limited. The compact differential laser system from this vendor is the only one that meets this size limitation ( less than 55 mm x 55mm x 120 mm) and the mounting restriction. There are no other re-sellers. Renishaw is the sole distributor of the Compact Differential Laser system. Delivery shall be FOB Destination, Gaithersburg, MD. 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, interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to this requirement. The Government will consider responses received by 12:00 p.m. (EST) on September 10, 2012. Inquiries will only be accepted via email to Christopher.ganey@nist.gov. No telephone requests will be honored. 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 in the future.
