The Air Force Metrology and Calibration program (AFMETCAL) at Heath OH intends to solicit and award a Sole Source Firm Fixed Price contract under Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) in accordance with FAR Part 13-Simplified Acquisition Procedures and FAR Part 12-Acquisition of Commercial Items for the purchase of a QHR Upgrade to Measurements International. Market research was done and no other manufacturers can perform the QHR Upgrade that can meet the Air Force requirement. The QHR Standard was developed as a joint effort between Measurements International and NIST. NIST also developed a Graphene chip to incorporate into the system, but are unwilling to support a system of their own. A separate purchase of the Graphene chip will be made to incorporate into the MI System. The Government envisions a Firm Fixed Price type contract. The anticipated quantity is for 1 unit in FY21. The requirement is for a QHR Upgrade in accordance with the Purchase Description, which is available for download at this site. The pre-solicitation number is FA2263-21-Q-0018 and shall be referenced on all correspondence submitted. THIS NOTICE OF INTENT IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS OR QUOTATIONS. No solicitation package will be issued. A determination by the Government not to compete this action based on responses received is solely within the discretion of the Government. All responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation which shall be considered by AFMETCAL. Interested sources must respond in writing with clear and convincing evidence to support their ability to provide the required item within fifteen (15) days of this publication. Interested parties should submit questions to Michael Hickey by email at michael.hickey.2@us.af.mil .
