- Description
- The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) intends to negotiate, on a sole-source basis, with Aerotech, Inc.; 101 Zeta Dr, Pittsburg, PA 15238 for Motorized x-and y- axis and rotary stages for the UV-SCF under the authority of FAR Part 13.106-1(b), to be used by Physical Measurements Laboratory (PML), in Gaithersburg, MD. � ***** Sole source determination is based on the need to acquire motorized x-and y- axis and rotary stages for the UV-SCF. These stages are being used in a project to develop a ultraviolet (UV) detector calibration facility in support of UV optical measurements in the areas of diagnostics and disinfection. In this facility, computer controlled motorized x- and y-axis motorized stages along with a rotary stage and a computer controlled motor are needed to move a 50 kg optical detector with accuracy of 3 microns over a travel distance of 600 mm in the x direction and 500 mm in the y direction. �Aerotech, Inc is the only company, based on market research, that can provide the stages with the sufficient load capacity and compatible software to be able to meet these requirements. The software required is a custom-written software which is compatible with the NIST owned Aerotech controller. Obtaining software not compatible with this custom software would require rewriting resulting in a duplication of effort and funds for the Government. Therefore, no other company identified in the industry is capable of providing the required equipment. Aerotech Inc. is the sole manufacturer and distributor of the equipment identified that meets the required minimum specifications. *****The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 334516 � Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing, with a small business size standard of 1,000 employees. *****A determination by the Government not to compete the proposed acquisition based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. *****No solicitation package will be issued. This notice of intent is not a request for quotations; however, all responsible sources interested may identify their interest and capability to respond to this requirement. Interested parties that believe they can satisfy the requirements listed above must identify their capability in writing before the response date of this notice. Only responses received by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on July 14, 2021 will be considered by the government. Responses shall be submitted via email to tracy.bisson@nist.gov .
