***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 a large sample stage cryostat. If no alternate sources are identified, the Government intends to issue a Sole Source Award to Four Nine Design LLC, 3485 AJ Way, Unit 112, Billings, MT 59106 (UEI: Q1XUK2M6CJ77) under the authority of FAR 12.102(b) The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 334516.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) requires a large sample stage cryostat to support advanced cryogenic characterization of mixed-signal digital and analog circuits, as well as semiconductor devices, at temperatures down to 4.2 K. This system will be used to enable low-temperature testing of integrated circuits, interconnects, and device-level structures relevant to cryo-electronics for quantum information science, high-performance computing, and cryogenic sensor applications.
The cryostat will support simultaneous DC, RF, and optical access to accommodate realistic operating conditions for complex electronic subsystems. The system is critical to sustaining and expanding NIST-s cryo-electronics measurement capabilities and to providing a robust, measurement-driven foundation for cryogenic circuit and system development.
NIST has a need for a Large Sample Stage Cryostat that meets or exceeds the following draft minimum specifications:
Contract Line Item Number (CLIN) 0001
Description: Large Sample Stage Cryostat
Quantity: One (1)
Cooling Performance
Shall provide a minimum cooling power of 2 W at 4.2 K.
Cold Plate Size and Geometry
Shall include a 4 K cold plate with diameter greater than Ø250 mm.
Shall provide a 4 K cold plate height of approximately 200 mm to accommodate large circuits, probe assemblies, and fixtures.
Thermal Cycling Performance...
