A -- RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT OF PID SYSTEM SOL 50SBNB8C1036 DUE 020398 POC Marsha Rodgers (301) 975-6398 WEB: NIST Contracts Homepage, http://www.nist.gov/admin/od/contract/contract.htm. E-MAIL: NIST Contracts Office, Contract@nist.gov. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with Mr. Charles Yokley, Damascus, Maryland, for research, development and installation services of a Proportional Integral Differential (PID) system for the BB3200pg high temperature blackbody. Mr. Yokley shall also construct mounting for the Rapid Thermal Processing (RTP) system and design a method for easy installation of a silicon wafer in the RTP. The period of performance is for one year from date of award with two additional one year option periods. F.O.B. Destination, Gaithersburg, Maryland. This is a sole source requirement because Mr. Yokley is uniquely qualified to accomplish all of the tasks required. He has over 40 years experience in radiometric and heat transfer applications. He has designed, built, and tested blackbody sources and other radiometric sources. In addition, he has great insight and understanding in the operation and physics theory of these sources and in the operation and physics theory of these sources and the associated electronic equipment. He also has his own facilities for fabricating tools and blackbody components. His craftsmanship and precision in electro-optical and mechanical devices is well-suited to these tasks. This contract shall be awarded using Simplified Acquisition Procedures requesting a written solicitation and the anticipated award date is February 14, 1998. See Numbered Note 26. Interested parties shall send capability statements for consideration within 45 days of this publication date. (0353)
