AI Contract Overview

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Building Environment Division, is seeking to acquire a refurbished ion gun package that must be compatible with their existing custom software and hardware, specifically enabling operation in the sputter raster mode. Since the original manufacturer no longer provides an equivalent new model, NIST plans to procure this equipment solely from RBD Enterprises, a company offering refurbished units that function like new and come with a warranty. This procurement will be handled as a sole source fixed-price purchase order under the authority of 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(1) and FAR 13 Simplified Acquisition Procedures, meaning that negotiations will be conducted exclusively with RBD Enterprises without competitive bidding. Although this is not a solicitation for competitive quotes, interested firms are invited to express their interest and demonstrate their capability to meet the requirement by submitting written responses by August 27, 2007. These responses will inform the Government’s decision whether to pursue a competitive process but will not result in a request for quotes. The contact for this procurement is Joan M. Smith, Contract Specialist at NIST in Gaithersburg, Maryland. The procurement aligns with NAICS code 334119 and involves a specific and non-substitutable item critical to NIST’s operations.
