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 a Microscopy cryostat and heating stage. If no alternate sources are identified, the Government intends to issue a Sole Source Award to MCCRONE MICROSCOPES & ACCESSORIES LLC., 850 PASQUINELLI DR WESTMONT, IL 60559-5539, under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b). The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 334516.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Nanoscale Device Characterization Division (NDCD) develops and advances the measurement and knowledge infrastructure to characterize nano- and atom-scale engineered materials and solid-state devices for innovation in information processing, sensing, and future quantum technologies. The NDCD-s technical activities span atom scale devices, nanoscale spectroscopy, nanoscale imaging, nanoscale processes and measurements, and alternative computing. To meet mission requirements, the NDCD needs to procure a microscopy optical cryostat and heating stage. This acquisition will allow the division to improve its capabilities in the spectroscopic measurement of color centers and excitonic devices to further their development as platforms for quantum sensing/communication The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Physical Measurements Laboratory (PML) Nanoscale Device Characterization Division (NDCD) requires a Microscopy cryostat and heating stage for spectroscopic measurement of color centers and excitonic devices. This is necessary to determine the performance of these optoelectronic materials as quantum sensors. The measurements require spatial resolution that is not achievable without coupling them to an optical microscope. Temperature control is essential to this research. In many cases, the sensor performance improves dr...
