Tender Details

Notice of Intent to Noncompetitively acquire a Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Gaussmeter
This notice is not a request for a quotation. A solicitation document will not be issued, and quotations will not be requested.
This acquisition is being conducted under the authority of RFO 12.102(a). The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 334516, Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing which has a small business size standard of 1, 000 employees.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Physical Measurement Laboratory (PML), Nanoscale Device Characterization Division, Advanced Electronics Group intends to purchase a gaussmeter whose operating principle is the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) of protons. Additionally, the gaussmeter must be calibrated and traceable to international standards.
A primary strategic focus of the division involves exploring the chemical and physical nature of atomic-scale defects in materials. Chief among these materials is diamond; including applications exploiting its wide bandgap properties for power electronics and its ultra-stable defect entities for use in quantum sensing applications.
The division is currently undertaking an effort to develop diamond-based magnetometers for magnetic field sensing. A critical aspect of this program is the precise measure of the electronic g-tensor of a specific diamond-based defect entity, the nitrogen vacancy (NV) center. Our ability to measure this quantity directly relates to our ability to calibrate the magnetic field of our magnets. Thus, we require an ultra-sensitive NMR gaussmeter. Additionally, our program requires that our measure of g-tensor be SI traceable and thus requires an SI-traceable measure of magnetic field.
The primary purpose of this acquisition is to measure magnetic field in an ultra-sensitive and SI-traceable manner by exploiting the nuclear magnetic resonance of protons. This unit will serve to ...
