- Description
- In accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures, the Department of Energy (DOE), National Energy Technical Laboratory (NETL) intends to award a purchase order on a sole source basis to JH Technologies for Buehler VibroMet 2 Vibrating Metallographic Polishing Machines. The VibroMet 2 vibrating polishers are replacement vibrating polishers for old equipment in use at NETL. The polishers must be compatible with existing equipment used at NETL for ongoing research projects. The polishers must be the VibroMet 2 115-volt polisher that performs a very fine polish that cannot be achieved by other rotating polishers. The VibroMet 2 oscillates almost entirely horizontally, maximizing the length of time the specimen touches the polishing cloth. The horizontal motion polishes without inducing mechanical stresses. JH Technologies is the authorized Buehler dealer and sole source provider for these Buehler VibroMet 2 polishing machines for the Oregon location. This is considered a sole source to JH Technologies because, to the best of the NETL�s knowledge based on market research conducted, JH Technologies is the only known source for the state of Oregon that can provide this VibroMet2 vibrating metallographic polishing machine. 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 May 30, 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.
