The statutory authority of this sole source acquisition is FAR subpart 13.106-1(b). The NCNR focuses on providing neutron measurement capabilities to the U.S. research community. It is the national center for research using thermal and cold neutrons, offering its instrumentation for use by all qualified applicants. Many of its instruments rely on intense beams of cold neutrons emanating from an advanced liquid hydrogen moderator. The focus of NCNR relies upon the safe and cost-effective operation of the National Bureau of Standards Reactor (NBSR) as well as its ability to operate under and adhere to the licensing agreements of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). Part of the requirement to operate the NBSR is to record historical data pertaining to various temperatures, pressures, and flows. The measurement of shim arm drop times are required for continued operation of the NBSR reactor. The proposed acquisition is to obtain the required Yokogawa Scopecorder and compatible modules. Currently, a Yokogawa Scopecorder and custom software are the main component of this measurement. NCNR's Scopecorder is showing significant signs of failure and needs to be replaced. The minimum specifications for a replacement Scopecorder are: One (1) Scopecorder with the following modules: - 701265 - 701251 - 701267 - 701281 - 720230 - 700986 - M1223LW-A (case) - M1223UDA03 (NIST calibration certification) Only authorized resellers are authorized to provide Yokogawa products. Technical Representatives, Inc. is the sole authorized distributor for Yokogawa DL850E in the Gaithersburg, MD region. Delivery shall be FOB destination and take place four (4) months from receipt of order unless mutually agreed upon the Government's ability to receive earlier. This requirement is expected to be awarded in June, 2017. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 334513, and the size standard is 750 employees. No solicitation package will be issued. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations; however, all responsible sources interested may identify their interest and capability to respond to this requirement. The Government will consider responses received by 1:00 p.m. Eastern on June 16, 2017. Inquiries will only be accepted via email to erica.miller@nist.gov No telephone requests will be honored. 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 in the future.
