The National Institute of Standards and Technology awarded a $353,600 firm fixed price purchase order to Dectris USA Inc. to deliver a megapixel photon-counting x-ray camera. The camera will support research at NIST's Quantum Sensors Group, meeting specifications including an active sensor area over 40 square centimeters capable of detecting x-rays from 6-15 keV at over 100,000 photons per second per pixel. A Linux-based server to support camera readout is also required. There was no set-aside designation for this solicitation, which sought to fulfill NIST's need for a single camera system to advance its work in quantum metrology and support its mission to develop measurement science and standards technology.
