- 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 Andeen-Hagerling, Inc. 31200 Bainbridge Rd., Ste 2, Cleveland, OH 44139-2231 for the acquisition of an Ultra Precision Capacitance Bridge, needed by the Physical Measurement Laboratory, at NIST, Gaithersburg, MD 20899. Sole Source determination is based on the need NIST has for an Ultra Precision Capacitance Bridge, which is proprietary to the manufacturer, Andeen-Hagerling, Inc. The Fundamental Electrical Metrology group requires an Ultra-Precision Capacitance Bridge to function as part of an experiment to determine a fundamental constant, the gravitational constant. This experiment requires capacitance measurements that achieve the same level of precision as the best NIST standards. For measurements at this level of precision (5 ppm accuracy at 1kHz, 0.2ppm resolution, and a stability of 1ppm/year). Only one qualified vendor, Andeen-Hagerling, Inc., has been identified. No other known source is technically acceptable or compatible with existing NIST hardware, software, and calibration procedures. *****The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 334515, and the size standard is 500. ******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 May 15, 2015 will be considered by the Government.
