The OEM maintains proprietary information on the systems? designs, service procedures, electronics, attachments, and calibration methods. The OEM (Rigaku) is the only capable vendor to provide this service. No known potential alternate sources exist which could satisfy NETL's requirement. This notice of intent is not a request for quote/proposal. Any interested party that believes it is capable of meeting the NETL requirement described herein may identify themselves and must provide evidence of their capability to fulfill the requirement being requested by 5:30 PM ET on April 27, 2016. Responses must be submitted in writing to the purchasing agent, Lora Stumpf, via email at stumpf@netl.doe.gov no later than the time and date noted above.
