- Description
- The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) intends to negotiate, on a sole source basis, under the authority of FAR 13.106(b)(1), with Chesapeake Mission Critical for the acquisition of maintenance and service support for two (2) Eaton brand Uninterruptible Supply (UPS) Units to be used by the NIST Office of Information Systems Management (OISM). ***** Sole source determination is based on the need to maintain two (2) Eaton brand UPS units that serve the NIST Gaithersburg, Maryland location as well as the NIST Boulder, Colorado location. Eaton utilizes propriety firmware and software to maintain these units. Only Eaton and its authorized specialists are authorized to use this software and firmware. Use of an unauthorized specialist would: 1. Pose a safety risk to the unauthorized technicians. 2. Compromise the integrity of the units. 3. Void the Eaton warranty. 4. Leave both the Gaithersburg and Boulder campuses vulnerable to power outages, power spikes and brown outs. Eaton's Area Sales Manager confirmed that Chesapeake Mission Critical is the only specialist authorized to operate in the Maryland area. *****The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 811219 - Other Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance with a small business size standard of $20.5 million. ****** A determination by the Government whether to compete the proposed acquisition based upon 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. *****No solicitation package will be issued. This notice of intent is not a request for quotations. Interested parties that believe they can satisfy the requirements listed above must identify their capability in writing before the response date of this notice. Only responses received by February 13, 2017, 3:00 p.m. EST will be considered by the government. Responses shall be submitted via email to amber.gray@nist.gov.
