The associated North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code for this procurement is 325120, with a small business size standard of 1,000 Employees. This acquisition will use full and open competition procedures. The Gas Metrology group in the Chemical Sciences Division conducts research in gas metrology to underpin the traceability of gas analysis in the U.S. The group develops, critically evaluates, and applies analytical methods for gas measurements based on gas chromatography and mass spectrometry; applies this research to the development and certification of gas mixture Standard Reference Materials, and industry produced NIST Traceable Reference Materials. The purpose of the requirement is to provide a framework to purchase a candidate gas Standard Reference Material, SRM 2737 of nitric oxide in nitrogen, which has been produced under strict NIST technical specifications. The period of performance for the line item shall be in accordance with the following: Base Period: Delivery of 33, SRM 2737 in 30-liter aluminum cylinders, CGA-660 stainless steel valves, meeting all the specifications in accordance with the statement of work, inclusive of F.O.B Destination Shipping.

EVALUATION CRITERIA AND BASIS FOR AWARD The Government intends to award a purchase order resulting from this solicitation to the responsible quoter whose quotation, conforming to the solicitation, is the lowest priced, technically acceptable quotation. Technically acceptable means that the Contractor provides the cylinders, meeting the requirements of the Statement of Work. If a Contractor does not indicate how its proposed equipment meets a certain minimum requirement, NIST will determine that it does not. Price will be evaluated to determine that total price is consistent with the technical portion of the quotation and is a fair and reasonable overall price to the Government. NIST intends to evaluate quotes and issue a contract based on the initial quotes received. Therefore, the Contractor's initial quote should contain the Contractor's best terms from a price and technical standpoint. NIST reserves the right to request revised quotes from, or negotiate final contract terms with, one or more, but not all, Contractors if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. REQUIRED SUBMISSIONS All Contractors shall submit the following: 1. For the purpose of evaluation of Technical Acceptability: Documentation that confirms the contractor is capable of providing the cylinders, as specified, in the statement of work. 2. Contractors shall provide pricing for the following Line Item. •Line Item 0001: Quantity of 33, SRM 2737 in 30-liter aluminum cylinders, CGA-660 stainless steel valves, meeting all the specifications in accordance with the statement of work, inclusive of F.O.B Destination Shipping. 3. A completed version of all required solicitation provisions (see attached provisions/clauses document- required submissions highlighted in blue). 4. Any award resulting from this solicitation will contrail the following statement: "The Government's terms and conditions, identified herein, shall be the prevailing terms and conditions governing this award. In the event of a conflict between the Government's and contractor's terms and conditions, the Government's terms and conditions take precedence." If the Contractor objects to any of the terms and conditions contained in this solicitation, the contractor shall state "The terms and conditions in the solicitation are acceptable to be included in the award document with the exception, deletion, or addition of the following:" [Contractor shall list exception(s) and rationale for the exception(s)]. It is the sole responsibility of the Contractor to identify in their quote any exceptions to the terms and conditions of the solicitation.

Contractors shall provide an active DUNS# for the Systems for Award Management (SAM) registration. Please note that this procurement IS NOT being conducted under the GSA Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) program or another Government-Wide Area Contract (GWAC). If a contractor submits a quotation based upon an FSS or GWAC contract, the Government will accept the quoted price. However, the terms and conditions stated herein will be included in any resultant Purchase Order, not the terms and conditions of the contractor's FSS or GWAC contract, and the statement required above shall be included in the quotation; DUE DATE FOR QUOTATIONS All quotations must be submitted via e-mail to Tish Walker, Contract Specialist at latish.walker@nist.gov Submission must be received not later than 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time on Friday July 6, 2018.
