- Description
- The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) intends to negotiate on a sole source basis, under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b) (1), with MSP Corporation located at 5910 Rice Creek Parkway, Suite 300, Saint Paul, MN 55126 to modify NISTS existing Wide Range Particle Spectrometer (WPS) 1000XP Model B, Serial Number 1000 B-0503 from the current model to a 1000XP Model A configuration. The sole source justification is based on the following: NIST owns and operates the above specified MPS branded equipment. The current equipment provides measurements of airborne particles from 10 nm to 500 nm size range. NIST requires the ability for this equipment to measure airborne particles in the size range of 10 nm to 10,000 nm. Additionally, the current configuration uses a radioactive ionization source to impart charge onto the particles being measured. NIST requires the ionization source to be replaced with a non-radioactive source to adhere to safety procedures. Market research has shown that MPS Corporation is the sole authorized contractor who can modify the equipment as required. Given these facts, MPS Corporation is the only source reasonably available to perform the modification on the WPS 1000XP Model B. The resulting purchase order will be a Firm Fixed Price purchase order. The NAICS Code is 811219 with a size standard of $20,500,000.00. No solicitation package will be issued. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations; however, interested parties who regard themselves as capable of fulfilling these requirements are invited to submit responses to the Government for consideration. Responses received by 11:00 am EST May 31st, 2016, will be considered by the Government. 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.
