Description
Notice ID Number NIST-FY25-CHIPS-0087
Title: Combined Sources Sought Notice/Notice of Intent to Sole Source for an Optical Spectrum Analyzer
***THIS IS A COMBINED SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE AND NOTICE OF INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE***
BACKGROUND
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is seeking information from sources that may be capable of providing an Optical Spectrum Analyzer, meeting the required technical specifications. If no alternate sources are identified, the Government intends to issue a Sole Source Award to Bristol Instruments, Inc, 770 Canning PKWY, Victor, NY 14564-8983, under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i). The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 334516.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Material Measurement Laboratory (MML), Chemical Process and Nuclear Measurements (CPNM) group is working to develop and validate digital twin models for atomic layer deposition (ALD) processes.
One aspect of this project involves development and application of in situ optical diagnostics capable of quantifying precursor chemical concentrations in the deposition chamber, in both one and two dimensions. One aspect of this research involves mid-infrared (MIR) gas phase absorption, using a wavelength-tunable quantum cascade laser as the MIR radiation source for one- and two-dimensional absorption measurements. For this implementation, it is critical to measure the laser wavelength to ensure that it matches the wavelength of a molecular transition, some of which transitions are spectrally narrow. To measure the laser wavelength, To achieve this, NIST is seeking to procure an optical spectrum analyzer (OSA). Since measurements will be made on different functional groups in different molecules and on some spectrally narrow optical transitions, an OSA that can operate across the MIR spectral region with a high spe...
