About this opportunity
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), a civilian agency within the Department of Commerce, has issued a Special Notice concerning a sole source procurement for Fringe Projection system Software. The notice specifically targets the acquisition of a software license and technical support from Additive Monitoring Inc., dba Phase3D, for an existing Phase-3D Fringe Projection instrument located at NIST's Engineering Laboratory in Gaithersburg, MD. This instrument is used to conduct research on surface roughness and topography of metal surfaces during additive manufacturing processes, with the goal of detecting potential flaws or defects in printed parts. The procurement is classified under NAICS code 541715 for Research and Development in Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences, with a small business set-aside. NIST is pursuing a 4-year software license and technical support directly from the vendor.
The purpose of this Special Notice is to inform potential contractors about NIST's intent to negotiate a sole source contract with Phase3D, citing their unique capability to provide software licenses and support for their proprietary hardware. Interested parties who believe they can satisfy the requirements must submit their capabilities in writing via email to hnw6@nist.gov by March 26, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. EST. The government retains sole discretion in determining whether to compete the proposed acquisition based on responses received. Eligibility is limited to small businesses within the specified NAICS category, and contractors must demonstrate the ability to meet NIST's specific technical requirements for the Fringe Projection system software. No solicitation package will be issued, and this notice is not a request for quotations, but rather an opportunity for potential contractors to express their capabilities. The total contract value and specific budget details are not disclosed in the notice.
Notice text
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) intends to negotiate, on a sole source basis, under the authority of FAR 13.106(b)(1), with Additive Monitoring Inc., dba Phase3D, located at 2415 W 19TH ST STE 2B-1, Chicago, IL 60608-3054, for the acquisition of a Fringe Projection system Software for use with an existing Phase-3D Fringe Projection instrument at NIST. The supplies will be utilized by the NIST Engineering Laboratory (EL), in Gaithersburg, MD.
NIST owns and operates a Phase-3D Fringe Projection instrument installed on an EOSINT M290 industrial additive manufacturing (AM) machine. NIST uses this instrument to conduct research on surface roughness and topography of metal surfaces during the AM fabrication process to detect potential flaws or defects within the printed part. The Phase-3D Fringe Projection system utilizes software to control the instrument, and process the collected image data into topographic data. Additionally, this software is continually being updated with new calculation and analysis features by the vendor, which requires regular interaction with their technical support. Therefore, the software license and technical support are combined in per annum agreement. Therefore, NIST seeks to obtain a 4-year software license and technical support provided by Phase-3D for the Fringe Projection system that NIST currently owns.
***** Sole source determination due to Phase-3D is the only company that provides licenses and software support for hardware sold by Phase-3D.
Based on the above, only Additive Monitoring Inc., dba Phase3D is capable of meeting the Government’s needs of this requirement.
***** The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 541715 - esearch and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (except Nanotechnology and Biotechnology) of 1000 employees or less.
****** A determination by the Government whether 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 quotations. Interested parties that believe they can satisfy the requirements listed above must identify their capability in writing before the response date of this notice. Only responses received by 03/26/2025, 11:00 a.m., EST will be considered by the government. Responses shall be submitted via email to hnw6@nist.gov.
