***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 high speed, Lock-in/Servo system. If no alternate sources are identified, the Government intends to issue a Sole Source Award to Bruker Biospin Corporation; 15 Fortune Drive, Billerica, MA 01821 (UEI: WWMWFMKJLH33) under the authority of FAR 12.102(b) The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 334516.
The Nanoscale Device Characterization Division seeks to acquire a seamlessly integrated, research-grade continuous wave (CW) X-band Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) spectrometer. A primary strategic focus of the division involves utilizing ESR to resolve the chemical and physical nature of atomic-scale defects in materials. This research is critical for identifying and controlling defect entities essential for quantum sensing applications, such as high sensitivity magnetometry.
NIST has a need for a visible range continuous wave tunable laser that meets or exceeds the following draft minimum specifications:
Contract Line Item Number (CLIN): 0001
Description: continuous wave x-band ESR spectrometer
Quantity: One (1)
The spectrometer components shall be seamlessly integrated and turnkey.
The magnet component shall:
Be of a double yoke design.
Have ten-inch pole faces.
Support L, S, X, and Q band EPR measurements by having a maximum magnetic field strength of at least 14.5 kG with a pole gap greater than 70 mm.
Have a magnetic field uniformity of at least 10 mG over the sample area (approximately 1 cm x 1 cm x 2 cm).
Be fully compatible with the below described microwave resonators, variable temperature equipment, and other accessories.
Be water cooled.
Have a suitable water-cooled matched power supply to allow for the above specifications.
The microwave excit...
