Contracting Office Address Department of Commerce, National Institute of Standard and Technology (NIST), Acquisition Management Division, 100 Bureau Drive, Building 301, Room B125, Mail Stop 1640, Gaithersburg, MD, 20899-1640, UNITED STATES Description The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Acquisition Management Division, on behalf of the NIST Facilities Services Division, Visual Communications Office, intends to negotiate with ACI Partners LLC, 4449 Brookfield Corporate Drive Suite C, Chantilly, VA 20151, on a sole source basis under the authority of FAR Subpart 13.501(a) and Subsection 6.303 for the acquisition of award plaques, statue awards and related award materials with ownership and property rights held by ACI Partners LLC. This procurement is to provide continuity of the specially designed award plaques, statue awards and award related material that have been etched by using plates and molds created with original photographs that have since been destroyed or lost. ACI Partners LLC designed the specifications of each plate, mold and etching used for the NIST Annual Awards presented by the NIST Director, in the mid 1990's. Award Crafters is the sole designer and provider of the required award plaques, statue awards and related materials presented each year at the NIST Annual Awards Ceremony. This vendor has supplied these awards for all previous NIST Annual Awards, and continuity of service depends on the use of their designs. The materials and services provided to NIST by Award Crafters are of the exact design and specification that the NIST Director's Office requests to use for the Annual Awards Ceremony. Award Crafters is the legal owner of the "property rights" of the design and fabrication of said awards. The design and fabrication of these awards are already established with Award Crafters and will save considerable time, effort and resources from being expended by NIST and Facilities Services Division because new designs will not have to be developed. This is not a request for quote, if you are an award crafter that would like to be considered, please provide documentation supporting your ability to replicate the design, specifications, molds and plates used for making these award plaques, statue awards and etchings. Please upload product literature and documentation on FEDBiz portal no later than October 28, 2015 by 5:00PM EST. Also, the following information is requested as part of the response to this Notice of Intent to Sole Source: 1. Name, address and size of the company 2. NAICS Code 3. DUNS Number 4. Confirmation of CCR and ORCA Registration 5. Point of contact for the company (name, phone number, fax number, and email address). 6. Indication of the number of days after the receipt of the order that is typical for delivery of such equipment. 7. Any other relevant information that is not listed above which the government should consider in finalizing its market research.
