- 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 Eaton Corporation, 8609 Six Forks Road, Raleigh, NC 27615-2966, for the acquisition of 72 Eaton battery replacements, and installation needed by the Center for Neutron Research at NIST, Gaithersburg, MD 20899. Sole Source determination is based on the need NIST has for un-interruptable power supply (UPS), and battery bank which are proprietary to the manufacturer, Eaton Corporation. NIST has used Eaton for the initial installation and annual maintenance of Eaton's powerware UPS, and Eaton proprietary software is used to perform diagnostic tests on the UPS equipment. Thus an experienced Field Service Engineer with propriety rights to Eaton's software must perform the maintenance on the UPS. Eaton's technicians are the only known technicians who have proprietary knowledge, tools, and expertise required to safely service NIST's UPS. *****The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 335311, and the size standard is 750. ******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 January 20, 2015 will be considered by the Government.
