- Statement of Work FBO ANNOUNCEMENT: PRESOLICITATION NOTICE, NOTICE OF INTENT ACTION CODE: SPECIAL NOTICE CLASSIFICATION CODE: 66- Instruments and Laboratory Equipment SUBJECT: Purchase of Chameleon Ultra (II) Laser System Replacement SOLICITATION NUMBER: SB1341-17-RQ-0413 RESPONSE DATE: 10 days after posting DESCRIPTION: The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) intends to negotiate on a sole source basis, under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b) (1)(i), with Coherent, Inc. located at 5100 Patrick Henry Drive, Santa Clara, CA 95054-1112 to purchase an upgrade/replacement of NIST's existing Chameleon Ultra (II) Laser System in terms of electrooptic and electromechanical coupling, computer control and automatic alignment and tuning. The sole source justification is based on the following: The Material Measurement Laboratory's Materials Measurement Science Division (MMSD) conducts research on the development of innovative metrologies and measurement protocols for micro/nano-scale heterosystems analysis. Measurement techniques are used to determine sample composition as well as structural, electronic, and chemical properties of a wide variety of organic, inorganic and biomolecular systems where materials of interest are typically present as either micro/nano-scale features or monolayer/multilayer films. To meet mission requirements; the MMSD has a need for replacement of a faulty, NIST-owned Coherent Laser Group, Chameleon Ultra (II) Laser System. This four-wave mixing system is comprised of dual optical parametric oscillators pumped by the Chameleon Ultra (II) Laser, and the system is used in the development of a super resolution, four-wave mixing microscope. To restore and maintain the interoperability of the current system, NIST requires a 100% compatible upgrade/replacement of the existing system in terms of electrooptic and electromechanical coupling, computer control, and automatic alignment and tuning. The resulting purchase order will be a Firm Fixed Price purchase order. The NAICS Code is 334516 with a size standard of 1,000 employees. No solicitation package will be issued. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations; however, interested parties who regard themselves as capable of fulfilling these requirements are invited to submit responses to the Government for consideration. Responses received by 11:00 am EST 15 May 2017, will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete the proposed acquisition based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
