- FBO ANNOUNCEMENT: PRESOLICITATION NOTICE, NOTICE OF INTENT ACTION CODE: SPECIAL NOTICE SUBJECT: Sole source procurement of a Leica EM ACE600 Sputter and Carbon Thread Coater SOLICITATION NUMBER: NB643000-21-00211 RESPONSE DATE: 12/02/2020 DESCRIPTION: The NIST, Material Measurement Laboratory�s Materials Measurement Science Division 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.� NIST has a need to purchase an Electron Microscope ACE600 Sputter and Carbon Thread Coater. ��NIST intends to procure this item directly from the manufacturer, Leica Microsystems located at 1700 Leider Lane, Buffalo Grove, IL 60010. Sole Source justification is based on the following: The NIST, Material Measurement Laboratory�s Materials Measurement Science Division has a project to develop a quality control process for scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive x-ray spectrometry based analytical methods by partnering with public entities to perform this research. ��NIST needs to duplicate the system currently being used by other organizations to properly test and verify the material handling and preparation processes.� The Leica EM ACE600 Sputter and Carbon Thread coaters are the make and model of the coaters being used by partner organizations and for that reason, the identical equipment must be utilized. Leica has stated in writing that it has no authorized resellers for Leica Microsystems products in the U.S. NAICS code for this requirement will be 334516 � Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing with a small business size of 1000 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 12/02/2020 will be considered by the Government.
