COMMERCE BUSINESS DAILY ISSUE OF FEBRUARY 9,1999 PSA#2279DOC; Mountain Administrative Support Center; Acquisition Management

Acquisition Management, Doris.P.Turner@noaa.gov. The National Institute
of Standards and Technology (NIST) proposes to negotiate on a sole
source basis with Merinov Enterprises to provide 28 sets of ferrite
standards (cast of stainless steel) that will be certified through
magnetic measurements at NIST. The specimens are machined from special,
cylindrically chill-cast rings of various compositions. The chill
castings produce a very fine, uniform microstructure. The magnetic
measurements will be made on a face normal to the solidification
direction. NIST will assign a ferrite number (FN) to each specimen
following the procedure of AWS Standard A4.2-91 "Standard Procedures
for Calibrating Magnetic Instruments to Measure the Delta Ferrite
Content of Austenitic and Duplex Austenitic-Ferritic Stainless Steel
Weld Metal." The set of specimens covers a range of FN, and will be
sold in sets. The set for the low range consists of 8 specimens
distributed over the range of 0 to 30 FN, and the set for the high
range ferrite content consists of 8 specimens distributed over the
range of 30 to 100 FN. It is not the intent of the Government to issue
a separate solicitation for this requirement. Interested sources
proposing to supply an equivalent item must submit a written
qualification statement by fax, clearly establishing capability to meet
the above requirements within 15 days from the date of this synopsis.
In the absence of other qualified sources, it is the intent of the
government to negotiate a sole source contract under the authority of
41 U.S.C. 253 (c) (1) with Merinov Enterprises, ak. Anochina str.
38-2-261, 117602 Moscow, Russia as this source is considered to be the
only known qualified source which will satisfy agency requirements.
This announcement is being issued under the Simplified Acquisition
Procedures, FAR Part 13 (NTE $100,000.00). Agency level protest
procedures are at http://www.doc.gov/oam/conops/#REFERENCE. FAR Clauses
