- Description
- The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), intends to negotiate, on a sole source basis, under authority of FAR 6.302-1 with Carl Zeiss Microscopy (CZM), LLC in Thornwood, NY for the purchase of a Motorized Fluorescence Microscope System. The existing microscope systems currently in use in the lab are assembled from a variety of proprietary Carl Zeiss Microscopy, Llc components that are not, in general, interchangeable or compatible with commercial off-the-shelf components or systems from other microscope manufacturers. In order to make full use of the existing CARL Zeiss Microscopy, Llc components, avoid duplication of costs, provide redundancy in technical capabilities, and reduce user training requirements. NIST requires that the new motorized widefield fluorescence microscope system be compatible with the existing Carl Zeiss Microscopy, Llc components. As a result, Carl Zeiss Microscopy, Llc is uniquely qualified to provide the required microscope system. Delivery shall be FOB Destination, Gaithersburg, MD, and is required within 12 weeks after receipt of order. 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 no later than the response date for this notice of intent. 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.
