This is a notice of intent for a class of contractual actions that will be procured using other than full and open competition for the solicitation and award of delivery orders under existing Basic Ordering Agreements for welding services in accordance with NIST specifications. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), intends to compete and award delivery orders among four (4) awardees of Basic Ordering Agreements. The BOA Numbers are: SB1341-06-V-0002; SB1341-06-V-0003; SB1341-06-V-0004; and SB1341-06-V-0005 for the period beginning March 10, 2007 through March 9, 2008. Delivery Order awards shall be based on the lowest fixed price. Based on historical data, the cumulative amount of delivery orders to be issued through the period of performance is estimated at $120,000.00. Solicitations shall not be posted on the Federal Business Opportunities website and competition shall be limited to existing BOA holders. This justification is based on the Basic Ordering Agreements having been competed via small business set-aside and awarded on a competitive basis in Fiscal Year 2006. The solicitation, all associated documentation, and amendments were posted to www.fedbizopps.gov under solicitation number SB1341-05-R-0010. No solicitation package will be issued.
