- 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 O'Brien Scientific Systems, 55 Crystal Ave, #324, Derry, NH for the acquisition of a Service Preventative Maintenance Contract for a 4 MV Van de Graaff Accelerator needed by the Physical Measurement Laboratory (PML) at NIST, Gaithersburg, Maryland. Sole Source determination is based on the need to keep the Van de Graaff accelerator, a unique 45 year old piece of equipment, functioning properly. Very few of these types of accelerators exist in the world. As such, there are very few technicians available for repair and service of these accelerators. O'Brien Scientific Systems provides parts and service for electrostatic accelerators, offering on-site service for emergency repairs and troubleshooting as well as maintenance contracts for these systems. Together, their engineers have over 45 years of experience servicing this type of equipment. A preventative maintenance contract for this equipment is the preferred method to spot issues before they become major problems and to keep the equipment in good working order. *****The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 811219, and the size standard is $19.0. ******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 June 07, 2013 will be considered by the Government.
