The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) intends to negotiate, on a sole source basis, under authority of FAR 13.106-1(b) (1), with Newport Corporation of Irvine, CA for the acquisition of a Spectra Physics Laser Tube to be used by the Temperature, Pressure and Flow Metrology Division at NIST, Gaithersburg, Maryland.

NIST currently owns and utilizes a Spectra Physics Laser System Model 2017. The laser tube to be purchased is an identical replacement part of the existing laser system. Spectra Physics is a division of Newport Corporation. Newport Corporations Spectra Physics division is the sole distributor and manufacturer of the required laser tube. It is imperative to use original equipment manufacturer to maintain compatibility of the laser system. In addition, Spectra Physics Division is the sole maintenance provider of the laser system; therefore, utilizing another manufacturer's equipment would eliminate maintenance of the equipment by Spectra Physics Division.

The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 334516, and the size standard is 500 employees.

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 be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.

No solicitation package will be issued. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations. However, responses received by April 29, 2011 will be considered by the Government.
