Description
***THIS IS A COMBINED SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE AND NOTICE OF INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE***
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is seeking information from sources that may be capable of providing ten high precision reference multimeters. If no alternate sources are identified, the Government intends to issue a Sole Source Award to Fluke Electronics CORP (6920 Seaway BLVD, Everett, WA 98203) under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b). The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 334515.
BACKGROUND/ Requirements:
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Applied Electrical Metrology Group is tasked with disseminating standards for measurement of electrical quantities such as voltage, current, power and energy. One specific application of high national priority is the calibration of field meters used by state regulators to verify the energy dispensed by Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) to fuel customers- electric vehicles. State regulators are required by law to use field meters in these inspections which have metrological traceability to the SI through NIST calibrations. The AEM Group needs new equipment to meet the nation-s need for SI-traceable measurement devices which ensure marketplace equity and will facilitate the installation of an accessible network of fast charging stations.
The purpose is to purchase ten high precision reference multimeters to extend the measurement capabilities of the Applied Electrical Metrology Group to handle new calibrations posed by new electricity-based commercial technologies such as electric vehicles and solar panel arrays. In particular the multimeters must meet the following unique requirements:
multiple measurement functions, of at least: DC voltage, DC current, AC voltage, AC current, resistance, and frequency. 8.5 digits precision measurement rate for the DC voltage and current functions must be ca...
