- Description
- In accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures, the Department of Energy (DOE), National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) intends to award a purchase order on a sole source basis to Amada Miyachi America, Inc. for the UB25 Unibond Linear DC Resistance Power Supply system. This is considered a sole source to Amada Miyachi America, Inc. because, to the best of the NETL ™s knowledge, based on market research conducted Amada Miyachi America, Inc. is the only known source that can provide the Unibond system. The ability to successfully bond Pt wire with high temperature metal contacts such as Pt is a highly challenging requirement for which only the Unibond system to be purchased has been demonstrated to be successful based upon past experience. Other wire bonding systems cannot provide sufficient bonding / welding capability for joining such high temperature metals with sufficiently robust contacts to ensure compatibility with high temperature operational environments such as fuel cells, combustion systems, or manufacturing environments. 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 2:30 PM ET on September 15, 2016. Responses must be submitted in writing to the purchasing agent, Kathleen Nedzesky, via email at Kathleen.Nedzesky@netl.doe.gov no later than the time and date noted above. Telephone responses and requests will not be received. A determination by the Government not to compete this requirement based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
