- Description
- The Acquisition Management Division (AMD) at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) intends to procure a triple-point of water cell maintenance system under a Firm Fixed Price Purchase Order using Simplified Acquisition Procedures for Commercial Items (FAR Parts 12 and 13).� The Thermodynamic Metrology group maintains and disseminates temperature according to the ITS-90 (the international temperature scale of 1990).� This scale is defined by equilibrium phase transition temperatures, including the triple point of water (TPW).� The group developing the next generation quantum SI photonics-based temperature sensors and standards. This development can be an alternative to SPRT (Standard Platinum Resistance Thermometer).�� The required Triple Point of Water Cell Maintenance System must meet the following technical specifications:� Must have solid state cooling to minimize vibration and noise� Must accommodate at least four (4) water cells� Must maintain ice mantle for at least four weeks without intervention� Market research was conducted and the only system able to meet all of the specifications provided above is the system manufactured by Isotech North America.� Isotech does not have authorized resellers/distributors.� The North American Industry Classification code for this acquisition is 334513, Instruments and Related Products Manufacturing for Measuring, Displaying, and Controlling Industrial Process Variables 750 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 competitive quotations.� 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 12:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on May 18, 2023, will be considered by the government.� Responses shall be submitted via email to elizabeth.timberlake@nist.gov with a cc to Ranae.armstrong@nist.gov.���
