- NOTICE OF INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE Contracting Opportunities Announcement Type: Special Notice Announcement Number: AMDTCNOI2401933 Title: Preventative Maintenance Contract for EOS M290 machine Introduction This is a notice of intent, not a request for a quotation. A solicitation document will not be issued, and quotations will not be requested. Purpose The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) intends to negotiate a firm-fixed priced purchase order on a sole source basis with EOS of North America, located at 28970 Cabot Drive, Novi, Michigan 48377-2978. The purchase order will specifically procure contractor services to perform preventive maintenance, inspection and calibration services on the existing, government-owned EOSINT M290, which was manufactured by Electro Optical Systems (EOS), GmbH, based in Germany. The period of performance will be effective from August 1, 2024, through July 31, 2025, with option years that may extend the performance period by up to an additional three (3) one-year option periods, not to exceed a total of four (4) years inclusive of base and all option years.� � Authority This acquisition is being conducted under the authority of FAR Subpart 13.106(b)(1) allowing the Contracting Officer (CO) to solicit from one source. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 811210 �Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance with small business size standard of $34,000,000. Description The Production Systems Group (PSG) in the Engineering Laboratory (EL) at NIST owns and operates one direct metal laser sintering (DMLS) machine (EOSINT M290) to support research efforts in metals-based additive manufacturing.� In order to complete this work, this machine must remain in proper operating condition and must be repaired in the case of malfunction.� Further, to accurately report experimental results and participate in material and process multi-laboratory studies, the current state of the machine�s performance must be continually known and updated, and all preventative maintenance must remain up to date. The purpose of this acquisition is to obtain preventive maintenance services on the EOSINT M290 owned and operated by NIST. NIST seeks to obtain a 4-year preventative maintenance and repair service contract as one base and three option years. The EOSINT M290 has the following serial number: SI3059. The contractor shall provide service by an authorized service technician that includes on-site hardware repairs including all parts (including, but not limited to, consumables, spare parts, wearing parts, and laser, as necessary for performance of the subject maintenance requirements), labor, and travel expenses with a response time of 24-48 hours for the EOSINT M290 machine.� The service provider must provide unlimited phone support.�� The service provider must provide two (2) preventative maintenance visits per year in accordance with this requirement: 1) Inspection Maintenance and Calibration and 2) Inspection Plus Maintenance and Calibration. Sole Source Determination The sole source determination is based on the following: EOS of North America is the sole provider of maintenance and calibration services in the United States for machines manufactured by EOS GmbH, the parent corporation and original equipment manufacturer (OEM). No other maintenance service provider is available that is authorized by EOS GmbH to provide maintenance and calibration services for the M290 that was manufactured by EOS GmbH. The preventive maintenance services required by NIST are available from only one responsible source, EOS of North America, and no other type of supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. For purposes of continuity of science, EOS of North America, is the only source that can fully achieve this requirement and the required services must be purchased directly through EOS of North America. No other sources exist that can achieve this requirement. Information for Interested Parties Interested parties that believe they could satisfy the requirements listed above for NIST may clearly and unambiguously identify their capability to do so in writing by or before the response date for this notice. This notice of intent is NOT a solicitation. Any questions regarding this notice must be submitted in writing via email to Hunter Tjugum, Contract Specialist, at Hunter.Tjugum@nist.gov. All responses to this notice of intent must be submitted via email to hunter.tjugum@nist.gov so that they are received no later than 4:00 PM, Eastern Time, on the 7th calendar day following release of this notice.
