- Description
- The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Acquisition Management Division, on behalf of the Manufacturing Engineering Laboratory, intends to negotiate on a sole source basis under the authority of FAR 13.106(b)(1), with Corning Tropel of Fairport, NY for a 193 nm objective lens. The objective lens must be catadioptric and tuned for the 193.3 nm line useable with a standard excimer laser. The objective must have a minimum numerical aperture of 0.745 with a field size of 120 micrometers. The numerical aperture requirement is critical to high resolution performance requirements. The objective must be infinity corrected with the appropriate tube lenses available in the 193 nm range. Sole source determination is based on Corning Tropel being the sole manufacturer and provider of a lens which can meet all of NIST?s minimum specifications. Specifically, the lens can be used as an objective AND an illumination lens; AND the lens can meet the 193 nm requirement. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 334516, and the size standard is 500 employees. No solicitation package will be issued. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations, however, responses received by September 7, 2005, will be considered by the Government.
