- Description
- The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), intends to negotiate, on a sole source basis, under authority of FAR Subpart 13.106-1 (b), with Polaris Automation, Inc., located in Columbus, OH for the final quality control inspection and delivery of a PLC cold box control panel. The National Institute of Standards and Technology currently owns a helium refrigerator and liquid deuterium source which require a PLC to control their operation. The cold box control enclosure contains all the components necessary to operate the helium refrigerator including the PLC. The Government just recently terminated a contact with Eden Cryogenics, LLC, in which Polaris Automation, Inc. was a sub-contractor that was involved in the design and fabrication of the PLC cold box control panel and custom computer control software required for the proper operation of our existing helium refrigeration unit. Under the previous contract with Eden Cryogenics, LLC, Polaris Automation, Inc. supplied the software to Eden Cryogenics, LLC, who delivered the software directly to NIST. Therefore, NIST currently owns the software to control the PLC Cold Box Control Panel. However, at the time the contract was cancelled, the Government had not taken delivery of the PLC Cold Box Control Panel. Polaris Automation, Inc. currently has possession of the PLC Cold Box Control Panel and is ready to perform a quality control check and deliver the equipment to the Government upon receipt of the final milestone payment. Delivery shall be FOB Destination, Gaithersburg, MD, and is required within 6 weeks after receipt of order. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 334519, 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.
