- Description
- The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Acquisition Management Division, on behalf of the Materials Measurement Science Division, Material Measurement Laboratory, intends to negotiate, on a sole source basis, under authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), with Honeywell International, Inc., for the purchase of Maintenance Service for the NIST-owned Honeywell Davinci Scanning Sensor located at NIST in Gaithersburg, MD. NIST intends to purchase one base year maintenance service, and four option year maintenance services. Sole Source determination is based on the following: The Davinci Scanning Sensor includes a sensor head with a radioactive isotope that must be tested for leaks and performance every six months in order to comply with Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) license requirements. The scanning head and sealed radiation sensor heads have a proprietary design. There is an additional restriction imposed by the NRC RAM (radioactive material) license that restricts access to the Davinci sensor head to Honeywell licensed technicians. Due to the proprietary nature of the sensor, Honeywell is the only company capable of providing the maintenance service on the NIST-owned Davinci Scanning Sensor. Honeywell does not license other vendors to utilize their proprietary technology. Honeywell International, Inc., is the only vendor capable of providing the required maintenance service on the NIST-owned NIST-owned Davinci Scanning Sensor in order to satisfy the Government's minimum requirements. Honeywell is the sole manufacturer and distributor. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 811219, and the size standard is $19 million. No solicitation package will be issued. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations; however, the Government will consider responses received by June 11, 2014, 3:30 p.m. EST. 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.
