- 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 AFP Technology in Austin, TX for the purchase of a Filmetrics F40UV reflectometer system. NIST currently owns a Filmetrics F20 UV reflectromer system for large (1.5 mm) spot thin film measurements which is an essential tool for users of our Nanfab group. NIST shall require interoperability between the existing system and the required new system for both measurements and hardware and software. To allow measurements between the two systems to be correlated, the materials database needs to be standardized between the two systems. Because the Filmetrics F20 materials database is proprietary, this can only be accomplished by purchasing the Filmetrics F40, which comes with an identical materials database. Also to allow interoperability with the UV and visible light source of the current system, the small spot UV reflectrometer system must be a Filmetric 40 system as well. AFP Technology is the only authorized reseller for Filmetric equipment. 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. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
