- Description
- The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Acquisition Management Division, on behalf of the NIST Center for Neutron Research (NCNR), intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with FARO Technologies, located in Lake Mary, FL, under the authority of FAR Subpart 13.106-1 (b), Soliciting from a Single Source. The NCNR requires the addition of a new Portable Coordinate Measuring Machine (PCMM) to its current inventory of FARO measuring instruments. The Research Facilities Operations (RFO) group currently owns two 8' Quantum FARO arms, one 12' Platinum FARO arm, one Xi FARO Laser Tracker, one Ion FARO laser tracker and a complete inventory of various tooling for these instruments. FARO Technology does not have any authorized resellers. Therefore, FARO Technologies is uniquely qualified, as they can provide equipment that will ensure 100% compatibility with the existing FARO line of inventory and tooling currently in use by the NCNR. The NAICS Code is 334513 with a size standard of 500 employees. NIST anticipates negotiating and awarding a firm-fixed-price purchase order for this requirement. No solicitation package will be issued. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations; however, the Government will consider responses received by established date and time. 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.
