Description
INTRODUCTIONThis is a Sources Sought notice. This is NOT a solicitation for proposals, proposal abstracts, or quotations. The purpose of this notice is to obtain information regarding the availability and capability of qualified business sources. This notice is strictly for market research and information purposes only. Your responses will assist the Government in determining the appropriate acquisition method, including whether a set-aside is possible.
NIST is seeking responses from all responsible small business concerns. Small businesses are defined under the associated NAICS code for this effort, 334519 (Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing), as those domestic sources not exceeding the average number of 600 employees.
Background:The Infrastructure Materials Group (IMG) of the Materials and Structural Systems Division (MSSD) in the Engineering Laboratory (EL) of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) studies the durability and service life of materials, components, and systems composing US buildings and road- and waterways, and pipelines for resilient infrastructure. MSSD currently performs thermal analysis of infrastructure materials to understand thermal characteristics relevant to their use. Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) is a system that measures heat flow signals to allow users to better understand thermal events (chemical reactions, phase transitions, glass transitions, etc.) of materials. MSSD uses DSC to understand the thermal characteristics of infrastructure materials as they relate to processing, for example the cure kinetics of thermoset polymers and kinetics of the setting of cementitious materials. MSSD uses DSC also to investigate field performance, for example temperature-based transitions (e.g., glass-transitions) which may influence behavior. Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) is a system that measures the weight/mass of a sample as a function of temperature. Changes in mass are i...
