- Notice of Intent to Sole Source/Sources Sought for Zeiss Versa Micro CT Scanner Micro XCT-400 Preventive Maintenance and Software Maintenance Agreement Renewal to Carl Zeiss Microscopy, LLC.

This is considered a sole source to Carl Zeiss Microscopy, LLC. because, to the best of the NETL ™s knowledge, based on market research conducted Carl Zeiss Microscopy, LLC. is the only known source that can provide this exact maintenance agreement.

Service and maintenance must be performed by the original equipment manufacturer, Carl Zeiss Microscopy, LLC., and their trained staff. The current equipment continues to have a useful life and failure to continue the maintenance agreement will put NETL at risk of failure or loss of service that could severely impact the organization ™s ability to operate in an efficient and effective manner. The maintenance agreement is proprietary to Carl Zeiss Microscopy, LLC. 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 5:00 PM ET on May 15, 2017. Responses must be submitted in writing to the Contract Specialist, via email, at Robert.Mohn@netl.doe.gov no later than the time and date noted above.
