This acquisition is being procured as a Full and Open Competition. The National Institute of Standards and Technology's (NIST) Materials Measurement Science Division requires Citrate-Capped Gold Nanoparticles in Aqueous Solution meeting the specification within the attached requirements document. Responsible quoters shall provide pricing for the following Line Items: Line Item 0001: Nine (9) liters of nominally 30 nanometer diameter citrate-capped quasi-spherical gold particles in a water solution. Line Item 0002: Nine (9) liters of nominally 60 nanometer diameter citrate-capped quasi-spherical gold particles in a water solution Line Item 0003: Report of analysis (ROA) for each of the two material batches delivered Delivery The sample product must be delivered within 14 days of award per the Statement of Work. All remaining product must be delivered within 120 days of the award date. The items shall be shipped F.O.B. Destination to: NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF STANDARDS AND TECHNOLOGY 100 Bureau Drive Bldg 301 Gaithersburg, MD 20899 FOB DESTINATION MEANS: The contractor shall pack and mark the shipment in conformance with carrier requirements, deliver the shipment in good order and condition to the point of delivery specified in the purchase order, be responsible for loss of and/or damage to the goods occurring before receipt and acceptance of the shipment by the consignee at the delivery point specified in the purchase order; and pay all charges to the specified point of delivery.

To be considered as technically acceptable, the offeror must include the following with their proposal: 1. Discussion indicating compliance with all the requirements of the Statement of Work. 2. Provide documentation of favorable past performance (going back up to three years) with respect to production of single batches of citrate-capped gold nanoparticles within the 30 nm to 60 nm size range and yielding at least 9 liters of roughly 50 µg/g (ppm) gold particles. Documentation can include test analyses or production records that indicate the volume, concentration, particle size and core particle composition, or documentation demonstrating past agreements, contracts or receipts attesting to the offeror's ability to produce such materials for a customer. Customer identification or other sensitive information can be redacted. 3. Provide documentation showing current certification for ISO 9001:2008 or ISO 9001:2015 "Quality management systems - Requirements." ISO documentation may be a certificate from an independent certification body or a letter authorizing the Contractor to use the ISO logo. Price will be evaluated for all quoters whose quotations are determined technically acceptable. Price will be evaluated to determine that total price is consistent with the technical portion of the quotation and is a fair and reasonable overall price to the Government.
