- SYNOPSIS: The National Institutes of Standards and Technology (NIST) hereby provides notice of its intent to negotiate a sole source, firm fixed price purchase order to Gerstel, Inc., 701 Digital Dr., Suite 3, Linthicum, MD 21090. The order is expected to be awarded under FAR 6.302-1. A Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition has been prepared. Period of performance is a 12-month base period with four (4), 12-month option periods. The purchase order will be for Preventative Maintenance and on-site repairs on NIST-owned Gerstel-brand equipment: • Multipurpose Auto sampler (MPS) • Thermal Desorption Unit (TDU) • Cooled Injection System (CIS) • Controller (C506) • Universal Peltier Cooler (UPC Plus, two units) • Dynamic Headspace System (DHS, Including Large chamber, Carriage, base and power supply) • Six position agitator The Gerstel-brand equipment listed supports NIST's Engineering Laboratory - Indoor Air Quality and Ventilation Group within the Energy and Environment Division. The Group is currently working on measuring emissions from spray polyurethane foam (SPF) emissions and cigarette butts. This work is performed using a wide variety of different Gerstel injections systems (liquid, SPME, desorption tubes) for a gas chromatograph mass spectrometer (GCMS). This injection system is operated nearly every work day and is critical to producing data used to meet project milestones. On-site preventative maintenance and repairs from Gerstel certified field service engineers is necessary and no other known service firms are authorized and have the required certifications to work on the DHS system. If service is not acquired from Gerstel, we jeopardize the equipment's warranties. Interested parties may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement. THIS NOTICE OF INTENT IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS. A determination not to compete this requirement, 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. NIST will NOT be responsible for any costs incurred by interested parties in responding to this notice of intent. Only written responses will be considered. As a result of analyzing responses to this notice of intent, the Government shall determine whether a solicitation will be issued. Any prospective contractor must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) in order to be eligible for award.
