- This notice is being published in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 5.101(a)(2) requiring the dissemination of information on proposed contract actions expected to exceed $15,000, but not expected to exceed $25,000. This is a notice of intent to award a sole source contract to Couriertronics�and is not a request for competitive proposals.� This acquisition is conducted under the authority of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 13�Simplified Acquisition Procedures, Subpart 13.106-1 (b) (1), Soliciting from a single source and is not expected to exceed the simplified acquisition threshold.� Contracts awarded using FAR Part 13�Simplified Acquisition Procedures and at a dollar value less than the simplified acquisition threshold are exempt from the requirements of FAR Part 6�Competition Requirements. Single-sole Source Determination: The determination by the Government to make a single-sole source�is based upon the market research conducted as prescribed in FAR Part 10�Market Research, specifically the results of the market research concluded that this order is for a multispectral F Theta sold by Couriertronics.�The somatosensation and pain unit at NIDCR is dedicated to develop a novel microscope that enables large field of view (FOV) imaging. To achieve this goal, F-theta lenses that of large scanning (�28.1 degree with telecentricity under 2.3 degrees) angle is critical. In addition, our design requires F-theta lenses to pass through multiple-spectrum transmission (405, 440, 488, and 532nm).��After searching through the markets, we identified that the F-theta lenses manufactured by Sill Optics and sold by Couriertronics (F-theta lens part# S4LFT5110/322) is the only source that matches our requirement. Their lens is designed to accommodate a wide optical scan angle of (�28.1 degree with telecentricity under 2.3 degrees; 2) Their lens was custom designed to offer multi-spectral performance over a wavelength range from 405-532 nm. Couriertronics is the only company in the US that can provide the equipment with the specifications required. Closing Statement: This notice is not a request for competitive proposals.� However, interested parties may identify their interest and capability to respond to this notice.� Responses to this notice shall contain sufficient information to establish the interested parties� bona-fide capabilities for fulfilling the requirement and include: unit price, list price, shipping and handling costs, the delivery period after contract award, the prompt payment discount terms, the F.O.B.
