- Description
- The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) intends to negotiate, on a sole source basis, under authority of FAR 13.106-1(b) (1), with Coherent, Inc. of Wilsonville, OR, for the repair of an existing Coherent Verdi V18W Laser System to be used by Sensor Science Division of the Physical Measurement Laboratory (PML) at NIST, Gaithersburg, Maryland. The Sensor Science Division of the Physical Measurement Laboratory (PML) develops and disseminates the national standards of length, mass, force and shock, acceleration, time and frequency, electricity, temperature, humidity, pressure and vacuum, liquid and gas flow, and electromagnetic, optical, microwave, acoustic, ultrasonic, and ionizing radiation. PML applies its measurement capabilities to problems of national significance through collaborations with industry, universities, professional and standards setting organizations, and other agencies of Government. It is essential that the existing Coherent Verdi V18W Laser System remains fully functional to help meet the mission of the PML. Coherent is the manufacturer and sole source for repair of its equipment. A potential source would have to possess the proprietary knowledge of the Coherent equipment. No other companies have the capabilities or authorized technicians or rights to repair or maintain the Coherent Laser System. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition 811219, with a size standard of $19.0 M or less. A determination by the Government not to compete the proposed acquisition based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. No solicitation package will be issued. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations. However, responses received by Wednesday January 27, 2012 will be considered by the Government.
