    Notice of Intent to Sole Source Preventative Maintenance Services for a Gamma Well Counter The Department of Commerce, specifically the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), intends to negotiate a sole source contract with PerkinElmer of Shelton, CT for the procurement of Preventative Maintenance Services for a PerkinElmer Wizard2 Gamma Well Counter. This contract will cover a base year plus four option years for NIST's Physical Measurement Laboratory (PML). The Preventative Maintenance Services are crucial for the continued operation of the gamma well counter, which is the cardinal instrument in NIST's Radioactivity Group. The Radioactivity Group develops and improves metrological techniques for radionuclide standardization and carries out various programs related to environmental measurements, nuclear medicine, radiological instrumentation for security, and radionuclide metrology. The gamma well counter plays a critical role in maintaining low-level secondary radioactivity standards and ensuring the integrity of long-term data acquisitions for radio nuclidic half-life determinations. PerkinElmer is the sole manufacturer and technician authorized to provide the required preventative maintenance services for the instrument. They possess the proprietary knowledge and parts necessary for successful maintenance. No other vendors are capable of providing the required services, and only authorized PerkinElmer technicians can maintain the existing warranty of the system during maintenance. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 811219, with a size standard of $20.5 million dollars. The Government will consider responses received by November 6, 2015, to determine whether to conduct a competitive procurement. However, this notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations, and no solicitation package will be issued. In summary, NIST intends to procure Preventative Maintenance Services for a PerkinElmer Wizard2 Gamma Well Counter to ensure the continued operation and performance of the instrument, which is vital for maintaining radioactivity standards and supporting various research programs. PerkinElmer is the sole provider capable of delivering the required services and maintaining the existing warranty.
