Notice ID Number: NIST-SS25-48
Title: Notice of Intent to Sole Source to Bristol Instruments
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is seeking information from sources that may be capable of providing a Laser Spectrum Analyzer. If no alternate sources are identified, the Government intends to issue a Sole Source Award to Bristol Instruments (770 Canning Parkway, Victor NY 14564) under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b); only one source reasonably available. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 334516.
BACKGROUND
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Physical Measurement Laboratory (PML) Group 4 requires a Laser Spectrum Analyzer to provide the measurement capability to analyze performance of the sensor for rapid, multiplex detection of drug molecules - a key deliverable for the TRANQ Research Act 2023.
As part of a new NIST SERI program to advance measurement science for illicit drug identification and quantification under the TRANQ Research Act, the Sensor Science Division is developing new infrared drug sensors based on metamaterials. These metamaterial sensors rely on detection at infrared wavelengths spanning 2 mm to 11 mm for spectroscopic detection of drug molecules in the sensitive molecular fingerprint region. For benchmarking the performance of the sensor, a laser spectrum analyzer is required for characterizing metamaterial sensor spectral response.
Mission Critical statement: The laser spectrum analyzer is a time-critical, mission critical research needs for building a portable drug-sensing imaging system for the SERI (Strategic and Emerging Research Initiatives) Opioid project. This camera is required to fulfill NIST-s mission to build technologies for near real-time detection of drugs as directed by the Testing, Rapid Analysis, and Narcotic Quality (TRANQ) Research Act 2023 to prevent fentanyl from crossing our borders. ...
