- Description
- The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Acquisition Management Division, intends to negotiate with Adept Mobilerobots, LLC out of Amherst, NH on a sole source basis under the authority of FAR Subpart 13.106-1(b), soliciting from a single source, for providing an Indoor/Outdoor Mobile Positioning System Robot in support of the Millimeter Wave Channel Sounder project. The unique technical specifications of this system was identified in the Draft SOW provided in the sources sought posting dated July 12, 2016. NIST requires a contractor to provide a mobile robotic positioning system for the channel sounder receiver that can be used in an indoor and outdoor environment with the ability to track position and velocity. The positioning system shall move the receiver electronics and antenna array in user-specified, repeatable patterns inside or outside of buildings using battery power. Additionally, the Mapping software requires autocad route map input/output using ARNL, MOGS, Matlab, and Windows. NIST has developed navigation software specific to the Adept platform using approximately 1.0 FTE of time. Furthermore, the Wheels are required to be rubber or equivalent, pneumatic, 12-16 inches. The wheels are important because the electronics in our channel sounder system must not be subjected to vibration. Accuracy of navigation for the system is pertinent. The NAICS Code is 334290 - Other Communications Equipment Manufacturing with a Size Standard of 750 employees. NIST anticipates negotiating and awarding a firm-fixed-price purchase order to Adept Mobilerobots, LLC for this requirement. Interested parties that can demonstrate that they could satisfy the requirements listed above for NIST must clearly and unambiguously identify their capability to do so in writing on or before the response date for this notice. This notice of intent is not a solicitation. Information submitted in response to this notice will be used solely to determine whether competitive procedures could be used for this acquisition. If competitive procedures are not used it is estimated that an award will be issued by 08/19/16. Any questions regarding this notice must be submitted in writing via email to patricia.bullington@nist.gov. All responses to this notice of intent must be submitted so that they are received at patricia.bullington@nist.gov no later than August 15, 2016 at 10:00 a.m. Mountain Time.
