Description

Combined Synopsis/Solicitation Attachment A - SK-1373 THIS IS A COMBINED SYNOPSIS/SOLICITATION FOR COMMERICAL ITEMS PREPARED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FORMAT IN FAR SUBPART 12.6, STREAMLINED PROCEDURES FOR EVALUATION AND SOLICITATION FOR COMMERCIAL ITEMS, AS SUPPLEMENTED WITH ADDITIONAL INFORMATION INCLUDED IN THIS NOTICE. THIS ANNOUNCEMENT CONSTITUTES THE ONLY SOLICITATION; QUOTATIONS ARE BEING REQUESTED, AND A SEPARATE WRITTEN SOLICITTION DOCUMENT WILL NOT BE ISSUED. THE SOLICITATION IS BEING ISSUED USING SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITION PROCEDURES. The Request for Quotations (RFQ) number is SB1341-16-RQ-0613. This synopsis/solicitation constitutes a RFQ and incorporates provisions and clauses in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 2005-88. The associated North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code for this procurement is 334513 - Instruments and Related Products Manufacturing for Measuring, Displaying, and Controlling Industrial Process Variables, which has a size standard of 750 Employees. This procurement is being issued as a 100% small business set-aside. Commerce Acquisition Regulation (CAR) 1352.215-72 INQUIRIES (APR 2010) Offerors must submit all questions concerning this solicitation in writing, via email, to both the Contract Specialist, Cory Worley at Cory.worley@nist.gov and the Contracting Officer Patrick Staines at Patrick.Staines@nist.gov. Questions should be received no later than five (5) calendar days after the issuance date of this solicitation. All responses to the questions will be made in writing, without identification of the questioner, and will be included in an amendment to the solicitation. Even if provided in other form, the question responses included in the amendment to the solicitation will govern performance of the contract. BACKGROUND The U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC), National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Center for Neutron Research (NCNR) has a requirement for thermal shield flowmeter transmitters in accordance with the specifications provided within this solicitation. The NCNR owns and operates a 20 MW test reactor that is licensed by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. The reactor is being used for the performance of world class scientific research. Over the many years of its existence the reactor has undergone many modifications and upgrades to maintain it in good running order. One of the systems that underwent a major change was the reactor's Thermal Shield. The Thermal Shield System provides cooling water for the Biological Shield encircling the reactor. The water contains low level radioactive contamination. Portions of the thermal shield operate at either positive or negative pressure relative to ambient. It consists of 188 copper coolant pipes connected to Headers for cooling the Biological Shield in the Confinement building C-100. The existing flow monitoring system includes 188 flowmeter transmitters all calibrated to produce a 4-20 mA signal on a 24 Vdc powered current loop. The system fluid composition is made up of demineralized water with magnesium carbonated concentration of 5.5 g/liter of water. Since this is a retrofit project, the size of the flow switch and Inlet/Outlet fitting locations are very important. It is imperative that the new unit fit in the same space as the existing unit, and have the same end fittings and orientation. Due to the low flow of the system, the low flow range is extremely important.
