The purpose of this notice is to identify organizations capable of providing the necessary items and meeting the minimum contractor qualifications. This announcement is not a Request for Proposals or Quotes (RFP/RFQ) and does not commit the Government to award a contract now or in the future. The information contained in this notice is DRAFT only and as such, is subject to change prior to issuance of a solicitation. No solicitation is available at this time. After results of this market research are obtained and analyzed, NIST may conduct a competitive or non-competitive procurement and subsequently award a contract. NIST will use the results of this sources sought notice to determine whether to proceed on a sole source basis or competitively if it is determined that other vendors could potentially meet NIST's needs. This requirement is assigned a NAICS code of 334516 with a small business size standard of 1,000 employees. Interested business organizations that believe they are capable of meeting the requirement should submit electronic copies of their capability statement. Please limit responses to four (4) pages or less. Responses should include the following information: 1. Name of company that will provide product. 2. Name of company that will manufacture the product. 3. Spec sheets and examples of products that meet the specifications. 4. Typical lead time to deliver the product after receipt of order. 5. Any other relevant information that is not listed above which the Government should consider in developing its minimum specifications and finalizing its market research. Any proprietary information should be so marked. The written capability statement should be received by the Contracting Officer, Angela Hitt by email at Angela.Hitt@nist.gov no later than 1 p.m. MST Tuesday, January 16, 2024. The capability statement shall identify the business status of the organization. No quotes will be accepted at this time and will not be considered.","origin":"extract"},"notice_type":{"code":"r","label":"Sources Sought"},"schema_version":1,"solicitation_number":"NB686080-24-00677","place_of_performance":{"zip":"80305","city":{"name":"Boulder"},"state":{"code":"CO"},"country":{"code":"USA"}},"product_service_code":"6515"},{"dates":{"posted":"2024-01-17","response_deadline":{"raw":"2024-01-29T13:00:00-07:00","utc":"2024-01-29T20:00:00Z","date":"2024-01-29","time":"13:00:00","utc_offset_seconds":-25200}},"links":{"sam":"https://sam.gov/workspace/contract/opp/1eaef463103c4dadad795ce5a05de9be/view"},"naics":{"codes":["334516"],"primary":"334516"},"title":"NOTICE OF INTENT-NMR Probes","agency":{"office":{"code":"1333ND","name":"DEPT OF COMMERCE NIST"},"subtier":{"code":"1341","name":"NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF STANDARDS AND TECHNOLOGY"},"department":{"code":"013","name":"COMMERCE, DEPARTMENT OF"},"office_address":{"zip":"20899","city":"GAITHERSBURG","state":"MD","country":"USA"},"organization_type":"OFFICE"},"status":{"active":false,"archive_date":"2024-02-13","archive_type":"auto15"},"contacts":[{"name":"Angela Hitt","role":"primary","email":"angela.hitt@nist.gov"}],"base_type":{"code":"r","label":"Sources Sought"},"notice_id":"1eaef463103c4dadad795ce5a05de9be","provenance":{"extract":{"url":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/falextracts/Contract%20Opportunities/Archived%20Data/FY2024_archived_opportunities.csv","etag":"\"d582488fe153a9f11bf629913d176ffc-137\"","fetched_at":"2026-09-16T19:07:39.720164Z","row_sha256":"80ced76aed5b43fd5e9e47d05fef4757bb18c98ec9d7365f28681bc6e1f8b3bf","last_modified":"2026-09-13T14:47:40Z"},"updated_at":"2026-09-16T19:07:39.720164Z","first_seen_at":"2026-09-16T19:07:39.720164Z"},"description":{"text":"The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Acquisition Management Division intends to negotiate with Doty Scientific, Inc. located in Columbia, SC, on a sole source basis under the authority of FAR Subpart 13.106-1(b), soliciting from a single source, for probes.
