About this award
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) awarded a $2.01 million firm fixed-price purchase order to Veeco Process Equipment Inc., doing business as Veeco, on September 22, 2022, for the procurement of a Spector ion beam sputtering (IBS) system with associated storage capabilities. The contract, which carries no set-aside designation, is scheduled for completion by April 30, 2026, with performance taking place in St. Paul, Minnesota. Veeco, a White Bear Lake, Minnesota-based manufacturer specializing in advanced laboratory equipment and materials for federal research and development programs, is a subsidiary within a larger corporate structure and maintains established relationships with multiple federal agencies including NIST, the Office of Naval Research, and the Research Development and Engineering Command.
Ion beam sputtering technology is a critical thin-film deposition technique widely used in materials science and nanotechnology research, enabling precise control over film composition and structure for applications ranging from optical coatings to semiconductor device fabrication. NIST's acquisition of this equipment supports the institute's mission to advance measurement science and standards that underpin U.S. technological competitiveness and innovation. Veeco's demonstrated expertise in providing sophisticated scientific instrumentation, including various plasma-enhanced and deposition systems to federal research institutions, positions the company as a qualified provider for NIST's specialized equipment requirements under this purchase order.
