- Description
- Description: NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD A SOLE SOURCE The Army Edgewood Chemical Biological Center, Aberdeen Proving Ground intends to issue a Firm-Fixed-Price award to a single source under the authority of FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(iii), Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services will Satisfy Agency Requirements, on or about 29 September 2017, to Witec Instruments Corporation. Procurement History include the following contract W911SR-16-C-0069. The prospective contractor shall provide technical and programmatic support and training to the Army Edgewood Chemical Biological Center. Edgewood Chemical Biological Center intends to award this requirement as a sole source to Witec Instruments Corporation. WITec's Alpha300RA CFM+AFM microscope offers full integration of CRM, AFM, and SNOM. That is, all major components of the Alpha300RA are designed and manufactured by WITec. Although objectives and other general optical components are derived from Zeiss or others, the overall CRM, AFM, SNOM and high-throughput spectrometer are designed and manufactured by WITec. This single manufacturer approach is unique to WITec as they are the only supplier with a combined platform for Raman, AFM, and SNOM that is couple to a lens-based spectrometer. Thus, WITec offers an integrated solution of Confocal Raman and Scanning Probe Microscopes deemed critical to the Government's mission related to graphene research. In addition, WITec‘s Alpha300RA is designed specifically for the highest Raman sensitivity within the wavelength range widely used for graphene studies. One of the key features in the design is the use of fiber optics and lens as opposed to use of mirrored surfaces (mirrored surfaces result in a huge loss of Raman signal as opposed to only a few percent using WITec's fiber optic and special optical components). It is also very important to note that WITec‘s spectrometers are optimized for ultra-high signal throughput. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this requirement is 334516 with the size standard of 500 employees and less than 5 million in dollars. This notice of intent is not a request for proposals or quotes; however, all responsible sources may submit a quotation and technical capabilities, which, if received within fifteen calendar days of publication of this notice, shall be considered by Edgewood Chemical Biological Center. All responses must be submitted to the Government point of contact at the email address shown below. A determination by the Government not to open the requirement to competition based upon the responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Contracting Office Address: Department of the Army, Army Contracting Command, Aberdeen Proving Ground, E4215 Brigade Road, Gunpowder, MD, 21010. Government Point of Contact: Troy McClanahan, Contract Special, Email:troy.l.mcclanahan.civ@mail.mil Telephone: (410) 436.4379
