Description

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Time and Frequency Division, Ion Storage Group (ISG) intends to negotiate with Liop-Tec GMBH (Cage: CNBT9), located in North Rhine Westphalia, Germany, on a sole source basis under the authority of FAR Subpart 13.106(b), soliciting from a single source, to purchase a Dye Laser System.

The ISG requires a dye laser system capable of delivering >1 mJ, >10 Hz pulses of 237 nm light with good beam shape. We also require the flexibility to later tune the laser to other UV wavelengths.

The NAICS Code is 334516, Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing, with a small business standard of 1,000 employees. NIST anticipates negotiating and awarding a firm-fixed-price contract to Liop-Tec for this requirement.

Interested parties that can demonstrate they could satisfy the requirement listed above for NIST must clearly and unambiguously identify their capability to do so in writing on or before the response date for this notice.

This notice of intent is not a solicitation.

Information submitted in response to this notice will be used solely to determine whether competitive procedures could be used for this acquisition. If competitive procedures are not used, it is estimated that an award will be issued by August 31, 2023.

Any questions regarding this notice must be submitted via email to the Contract Specialist at lisa.stevens@nist.gov. All responses to this notice of intent must be submitted to the Contract Specialist at  lisa.stevens@nist.gov  no later than the submission deadline of this notice.
