Gaithersburg, MD. The authority of this sole-source action is 41 U.S.C.
253(c)(1)--Only one responsible source. As Spectra-Physics is the
manufacturer of the lasers, they are the only responsible source
capable of maintaining the lasers in accordance with their operating
specifications due to the many proprietary components of the lasers and
as such are the only source capable of meeting the agency's
requirements. This notice is to give potential sources the ability to
submit a capability statement to be received within forty-five (45)
days after the date of publication of this synopsis. This notice of
intent is not a request for competitive proposals. A determination by
the Government not to compete this proposed contract based on responses
to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose
of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. See
