- Description
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) intends to procure on a sole-source basis, operational services from the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Nanotechnology Standards Panel (NSP) and Technical Advisory Group (TAG). ANSI is uniquely qualified to undertake this work because they serve as the cross-sector coordinating body and provide the framework within which stakeholders can work cooperatively to promote, accelerate and coordinate the timely development of useful voluntary consensus standards to meet identified needs related to nanotechnology, including: nomenclature and terminology, research, development and commercialization. ANSI is the only known source for this service. They ensure the integrity of the U.S. standards system by establishing a set of due process-based ?essential requirements? that Standards Developing Organization (SDOs) may follow in order to manage the consensus standards development process in a fair and open manner. This proposed contract action is for commercial services for which the Government intends to award this action using FAR Part 12 procedures. Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement of submit proposals. The notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. A determination by the Government not to compete with this proposed contract based upon 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. The statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition is 41 U.S.C. 253 (c)(1). An ombudsman has been appointed to help resolve any offeror?s non-routine matters or concerns that may not have been sufficiently addressed by the Contracting Officer. Additional information concerning the Ombudsman program, including contract information, may be found at http://www.nsf.golv/bfa/dacs/ombud.htm. See numbered note 22.
