- Description
- The United States Air Force, AFLCMC/Operational Contracting Division, Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio 45433-5344. This is a Sole Source synopsis published for informational purposes only. This proposed action is for the procurement of the Fibies Nanopatterning and Visualization Engine (NVPE) upgrade to the recently acquired Zeiss Auriga Laser CrossBeam microscope. The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1). This proposed procurement will be a Sole Source under North American Industry Classification System Code (NAICS) 334516. Size standard is 500 employees. The proposed source is Carl Zeiss Microscopy LLC, 1 Zeiss Dr, Thornwood, NY, 10594-1939. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract 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. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations. However, all responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, quotation or exception to the intent to purchase on a sole source basis, which shall be considered by the Government if received by 1000 EST 07 August 2014. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. In order to comply with FAR 5.207(c)(15), the reason for lack of competition is as follows: Carl Zeiss will provide a custom NVPE system configured specially for the Auriga Laser CrossBeam microsope recently acquired by AFRL/RY. It is necessary to acquire this upgrade through Zeiss because other microscope manufacturers do not make custom NVPE systems that are compatible with the CrossBeam microscope and ensure seamless integration with existing platform. It is also necessary to procure this NVPE from Zeiss to maintain the current warranty of the existing platform. The Department of Defense (DoD) has determined the System for Award Management (SAM) to be the single DoD registration for contractors who conduct business or who are interested in conducting business with the DoD. Contractors must be registered in SAM prior to award for solicitations issued after 29 May 2012. You may contact SAM at 866-606-8220. SAM website: www.SAM.gov. Any information should be e-mailed to charles.bowers.6@us.af.mil not later than 1000 EST 7 August 2014 of this notice. Only inquiries/information received by this date will be considered. Be advised that all correspondence sent via e-mail shall contain a subject line that reads "FA8601-14-T-0200 Microscope". Note that e-mail filters at Wright-Patterson AFB are designed to filter e-mails without subject lines or with suspicious subject lines or contents (i.e.,.exe, or.zip files). Therefore, if this subject line is not included, the e-mail may not get through the e-mail filters. Also be advised that.zip or.exe files are not allowable attachments and may be deleted by the e-mail filters at Wright-Patterson AFB.
