- Description
- FBO ANNOUNCEMENT: PRESOLICITATION NOTICE, NOTICE OF INTENT ACTION CODE: SPECIAL NOTICE CLASSIFICATION CODE: 6640 � Maintenance Instruments and Laboratory Equipment SUBJECT: Upgrade of Oxford Instruments Aztec X-ray energy dispersive spectrometer , electron back-scattered detector Integrated Phase Identification System SOLICITATION NUMBER: NB642050-21-01032 RESPONSE DATE: 04/06/2021 DESCRIPTION: The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) intends to negotiate on a sole source basis, under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), with Oxford Instruments,, located in Concord, MA to provide an upgrade of Oxford Instruments Aztec XEDS/EBSD Integrated Phase Identification System. The Materials Science and Engineering Division of the NIST has the mission of promoting U.S. innovation and industrial competitiveness in the development and use of materials by advancing measurement science, standards, and technology.� The Division has a scanning electron microscope (SEM) that is used to investigate various materials (metals, ceramics, and non-conductive) in its Advanced Manufacturing (Additive Manufacturing) and the Materials Genome Initiative research programs. The SEM is also used by researchers in other Divisions within the Material Measurement Laboratory (MML), and within the Engineering Laboratory (EL). The SEM is equipped with an integrated Phase Identification system, consisting of an X-ray energy dispersive spectrometer (XEDS) to enable compositional analysis of materials and an electron back-scattered detector (EBSD) system to provide crystallographic and structure information.� NIST requires detector upgrades of this system to maintain state-of-the-art capabilities of detector sensitivity and through-put.. Sole Source justification is based on the following: This coupled XEDS/EBSD Phase ID system was purchased from Oxford Instruments in 2012. ��This required upgrade is only available from the original equipment manufacturer due to guaranteed original equipment performance specifications as well as compatibility with existing software licenses.��� Oxford Instruments does not have any authorized distributors or resellers. 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 04/06/2021 will be considered by the Government.
