- NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD A SOLE SOURCE This Notice of Intent is not a request for competitive proposals. This is not a solicitation or request for offers. No solicitation package is available and telephone requests will not be honored. Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) intends to award a sole source purchase order to University Research Foundation of Greenbelt, MD to furnish research and development services. The North American Industry Classification System Code (NAICS) for this requirement is 541712 with the size standard of 1000 employees. The Product Service Code (PSC) is AJ13. Support for this effort requires not only technical proficiency operating NRL's fabrication, characterization and testing equipment but also the ability to utilize existing software applications as needed to detail results, conduct assessments and provide recommendations. Personnel supporting this initiative must also be able to define and create experiments, approaches, processes, and capabilities within the Optical Science task listing. As such, support personnel must be able to function within NRL's existing laboratory capabilities, innovate new methodologies, characterize and test those approaches and assess results. A demonstrated capability to innovate, combined with prior successful leading edge advances in the subject task areas are critical to providing an indication of likely success in this research field. Personnel support is needed to conduct research regarding the following Optical Science disciplines: Advanced Methods of Glass, Ceramic, and Crystal Fabrication Data Collection and Analysis Pertaining to Fiber Characterization Innovative Processes that Improve Fiber Characterization Techniques Optical Fiber Cable Fabrication Advanced Development of Fiber Optic Devices Environmental and Vibration Testing Chemical Sensing Refinement and Improvement of Optical Waveguide Products Development and Fabrication of Optical Waveguide Products Development of Extruded and Molded Optical Products Advanced Applications of Thin Film Depositions on Waveguide Products Advanced Infrared Transmissive Materials Design, Fabrication and Performance Advanced Methods of Improving Mechanical Properties of Ceramic Products Synthesis of Ultra High Purity Ceramic Powders Maintenance and Manufacturing Support for Related Research Equipment Thin Film Devices Optical Systems Algorithm Development Aircraft Test Platform Support Program Management and Government Range Coordination All responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation, which shall be considered by the agency. Any response to this notice must show clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct a competitive procurement. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon response to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
