- Description
- In accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) intends to award a purchase order on a sole source basis to SciAps for a Z-903 GeoChem Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) Analyzer. This is considered a sole source to SciAps because, to the best of the NETL�s knowledge based on market research conducted, SciAps is the sole source provider for this item and they do not have authorized dealers or distributors. Their analyzers are sold factory direct. SciAps is the original equipment manufacturer and sole source provider for the Z-903 GeoChem Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) Analyzer. The Z-903 analyzer is the only handheld tool offering elemental microanalysis with advanced elemental heat mapping point-by-point. The laser power of this analyzer is capable to vaporize and thus analyze non-metallic samples. This is the only tool capable of quantitative determination of ALL elements on the periodic table. The SciAps Z-903 analyzer is the only model suitable for a wide range of sample matrices, including geochemical samples, with the spectral range and resolution necessary to quantify the entire periodic table. SciAps is the only vendor that can provide this exact item. No known potential alternate sources exist which could satisfy NETL's requirement. This notice of intent is not a request for quote/proposal. Any interested party that believes it is capable of meeting the NETL requirement described herein may identify themselves and must provide evidence of their capability to fulfill the requirement being requested by 4:00 PM EDT on 03/17/2023. Responses must be submitted in writing to the purchasing agent, Lora Stumpf, via email at stumpf@netl.doe.gov no later than the time and date noted above. Telephone responses and requests will not be received. A determination by the Government not to compete this requirement based on 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.
