High-Temperature In-Situ (HTIS) Indenter

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is soliciting quotations for a High-Temperature In-Situ (HTIS) Indenter. The solicitation is for a commercial product or service, and the acquisition is being conducted as an unrestricted competition. The quotation should include a technical description, demonstrated experience, and a price quotation. The government will evaluate the quotations based on technical capability, experience, and price. The award will be made to the vendor with the proposed solution that is most advantageous, with non-priced factors being significantly more important than price. Some key points to consider: * The quotation should include a technical description of the proposed equipment and how it meets the minimum requirements. * The vendor should demonstrate prior experience delivering, installing, and providing warranty for instruments similar to those in the statement of work. * The price quotation should include all shipping costs and tariffs, if applicable. * The government reserves the right not to award a purchase order and to make an award without discussions based solely upon initial quotes.
