Description

THIS IS A COMBINED SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE AND NOTICE OF INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE

Announcement Type: Special NoticeClassification Code: 6695

Announcement Number: NB683120-25-02392

Subject: Notice of Intent to Noncompetitively Acquire Zeiss EVO SEM Workstation Control Unit

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 FAR 13.106-1(b) via FAR 13.106-1(b). The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 334516, Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing.

BACKGROUND

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-critical requirements, the NDCD needs to procure a new workstation to control a Zeiss EVO SEM. This acquisition will provide the Division with essential capabilities in the spectroscopic metrology of color centers to further their development as platforms for quantum sensing and communication.



Cathodoluminescence (CL) spectroscopy is essential to determine the properties and performance of color centers in wide-band gap semiconductors, which the NDCD is developing for use as quantum sensors. CL involves coupling a photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy system to an SEM, providing the resolution of SEM with the sensitivity of PL. PL is the most popular technique to characterize quantum color centers, but it is generally limited in spatial resolution by the diffraction limit...
