- Description
- National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Acquisition Management Division Sources Sought for Commercial Item Purchase The National Institute of Standards & Technology (NIST) seeks information on vendors that are capable of providing a cryogenic optical fiber radiometer. The helium free optical table-top fibre optic cryogenic radiometer, meeting requirements of vibration control, compact footprint, temperature fluctuations and lowest power usage is necessary to further NIST's research and fulfil NIST's commitments to the Mexican National Centre of Metrology (CENAM), providing demonstration of portability and robustness of our NIST on a Chip concept. This announcement is not a Request for Proposals (RFP) and does not commit the Government to award a contract now or in the future. No solicitation is available at this time. The purpose of this synopsis is to identify organizations with the requisite qualifications to meet the requirements of the item stated herein. After results of this market research are obtained and analyzed and compared with NIST's minimum (see Technical Specifications above), NIST may conduct a competitive procurement and subsequently award a contract. If at least two qualified small businesses are identified during this market research stage, then this acquisition may be solicited as a small business set aside. NIST is seeking responses from all responsible sources, including large and small businesses (SB, SDB, WOSB, HUBZone, SDVOSB and VOSB). This requirement is assigned a NAICS code of 334513. The specific purpose of this Sources Sought Announcement is to determine if there are small businesses, within the parameters identified above, that are capable of providing the product identified. Interested business organizations that believe they are capable of meeting the requirement should submit electronic copies or mailed copies of their capability statement. Please limit responses to ten (5) pages or less. Responses should include the following information: 1. Name of company that will provide product. 2. Name of company that will manufacture the product. 3. Spec sheets and examples of products that meet the specifications. 4. Typical lead time to deliver the product after receipt of order. 5. Any other relevant information that is not listed above which the Government should consider in developing its minimum specifications and finalizing its market research. Any proprietary information should be so marked. The written capability statement should be received by the Contract Specialist no later than 2 p.m. MST Wednesday, August 3, 2016. The capability statement shall identify the business status of the organization.
