Description

NOTICE OF INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE: ENTROPY CRYOGENICS FBO ANNOUNCEMENT: PRESOLICITATION NOTICE/ NOTICE OF INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE ACTION CODE: <PRESOL/NOI> CLASSIFICATION CODE: 66 - Laboratory Equipment and Supplies SUBJECT: NOTICE OF INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE: ENTROPY CRYOGENICS SOLICITATION NUMBER: SB1341-15-RQ-0835 RESPONSE DATE: August 20, 2015 CONTACT POINTS: Harry Brubaker, Contracting Officer, 301-975-8330 DESCRIPTION: The Department of Commerce, National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the Applied Electrical Metrology (AEM) group is requesting non-competitive acquisition to purchase two (2) 4-K Cryostat Kits from ENTROPY CRYOGENICS. The Cryostat Kits will serve as the mechanical structure of a complex, low-temperature instrument under other than full and open competition by the authority of FAR subpart 13.106(1)(b). Specifically, no other commercial product is able to meet the requirements in a completely dry (i.e., no liquid cryogens) cryostat design. Only ENTROPY CRYOGENICS offers a commercial cryostat kit that meets the requirements and is also available separately from a cryocooler. ENTROPY CRYOGENICS does not license other vendors to use its intellectual property, its designs to manufacture and does not have resellers of their products. This requirement is expected to be awarded in September, 2015. 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, interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to this requirement. The Government will consider responses received by 12:00 PM EST (Noon) on Thursday August 20, 2015. Inquiries will only be accepted via email to Harry.Brubaker@nist.gov. No telephone requests will be honored. 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 in the future.
