- Description
- Statement of Work DESCRIPTION: The Bruker D8 Discover X-ray Instrument (Serial # 2975), located within the Materials Measurement Science Division, has been without a service contract for approximately five years. During this time, the lack of periodic maintenance and the wear of day-to-day operation has caused several instrument components to fail, and these components need either repair or replacement to bring the instrument back to full operational performance. See the attached Statement of Work for more detail. SOLE SOURCE JUSTIFICATION: Bruker AXS, Inc. is the manufacturer of the D8 Discover X-Ray. This x-ray equipment is a highly specialized research instrument manufactured only at Bruker. The components are highly specialized and uniquely manufactured. The equipment must also be shipped by specialized carrier and installed by Bruker employees who have been trained in specialized procedures to re-assemble on-site and test to factory specifications. There are no third-party providers of maintenance and repair services for this equipment. As such, NIST intends to negotiate on a sole source basis, under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), with Bruker AXS, Inc. to procure inspection, repair and maintenance of its D8 Discover X-Ray. The resulting purchase order will be firm fixed-price. The NAICS Code is 541380 - Testing Laboratories with a size standard of $15M. No solicitation package will be issued. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations; however, interested parties who regard themselves as capable of fulfilling these requirements are invited to submit responses to the Government for consideration. Responses received by 1:00 PM EST June 19, 2017, will be considered by the Government. 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 normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
