NOTICE OF INTENT-Temperature Controller for Bluefors Cryostat
NOTICE OF INTENT The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Acquisition Management Division intends to negotiate with Bluefors Cryogenics Oy located in Helsinki, Finland on a sole source basis under the authority of FAR Subpart 13.106-1(b), soliciting from a single source, for Temperature Controller for Bluefors Cryostat. Specific Requirements are as follows: Item 1: Cryostat Temperature Controller Qty 1 Specification 1.1 – The temperature controller must provide 8 independent temperature monitoring channels that are each capable of reading temperatures down to 10 mK. Specification 1.2 – The temperature controller must provide 4 independent heater output channels that are each capable of PID control. Specification 1.3 – The temperature controller must be drop-in compatible and be able to fully integrate with the Bluefors cryostat control software to ensure cryostat safety and reliability. This shall be provided and accomplished in accordance with these specifications. NAICS Code is 334516 –Analytical Laboratory Instrument, with a Size Standard of 1,000 employees. NIST anticipates negotiating and awarding a firm-fixed-price purchase order to Bluefors Cryogenics Oy 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 4th Quarter of FY22. Any questions regarding this notice must be submitted in writing via email to angela.hitt@nist.gov. All responses to this notice of intent must be submitted to angela.hitt@nist.gov no later than the date and time provided herein this posting. JUSTIFICATION FOR OTHER THAN FULL AN OPEN COMPETITION: Market research resulted in Bluefors Cryogenics Oy being the only vendor that can supply a temperature controller for an already owned Bluefors dilution refrigerator system in order to perform its NIST critical work. NIST requires a temperature controller with 8 temperature monitoring channels capable of reading temperatures down to 10 mK and 4 heater output channels with PID control. Additionally, the temperature controller must be drop-in compatible and fully integrated with the dilution refrigerator controls, allowing these controls to monitor temperatures at each of the temperature stages to ensure reliable and safe cryostat performance. Bluefors has developed an integrated temperature controller that meets the above requirements of 8 temperature monitoring channels, 4 heater output with PID channels, and drop-in compatibility with the cryostat control software. Bluefors' integrated temperature controller is installed in similar cryostat systems that our group owns. Failure to process this request by the end of the fiscal year would cause this source of funding to expire, preventing us from purchasing this new temperature controller and integrating it with the cryostat operation to achieve the stated goals.
