SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE
Notice ID Number: NB682030-26-01620
Title: Sample Rotation System
Department of Commerce Advanced Acquisition Planning Entry Number: NA
PURPOSE
The purpose of this sources sought notice is to conduct market research and identify potential sources of commercial products/services that satisfy the Government-s anticipated needs.
BACKGROUND
The NIST neutron imaging team, in the Radiation Physics Division of the Physical Measurement Laboratory, is developing a far-field grating neutron interferometer to measure the projection of the pair correlation function, G(Z), of a sample of interest. Samples to be interrogated by the phase imaging measurement system range in size, mass, and required environmental enclosures, so that the sample rotation stage to enable tomographic measurements must be capable of carrying loads in excess of 30 kg, have high rotation speed, and short move-settle time. As such, only air bearing rotation stages will be considered.
This procurement is to obtain quantity one, air bearing rotation stage to perform tomography measurements, minimizing the deadtime between acquiring projections while ensuring minimum artifacts due to rotation stage wobble, and procure the required cabling, control hardware, and control software.
NIST is seeking information from sources that may be capable of providing a Sample Rotation System that will achieve the objectives identified in this notice. The NAICS code is 334516-Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing, with a size standard of 1, 000 employees.
