About this award
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) awarded a $586.8K firm-fixed-price purchase order to Aleph Scientific LLC (doing business as Huber Diffraction USA) on September 20, 2024, for a six-circle x-ray diffractometer with a revised delivery date of November 30, 2026. The equipment will be installed at Brookhaven National Laboratory's National Synchrotron Light Source-II (NSLS-II) facility in Gaithersburg, Maryland, and will serve NIST's Beamline for Materials Measurement (BMM). This is a civilian contract with no small business set-aside designation, awarded through simplified acquisition procedures under Federal Acquisition Regulation Parts 12 and 13 based on lowest priced, technically acceptable bid. The solicitation was posted on August 14, 2024, with quotes due by September 6, 2024.
The six-circle diffractometer must meet detailed technical specifications for motion control, rotational range, resolution, and accuracy across its six axes while accommodating various sample holders and detectors within the existing beamline hutch space and weight constraints. NIST's procurement supports materials research capabilities at NSLS-II, a Department of Energy user facility, enabling advanced synchrotron-based characterization studies. The contract specifies that performance will occur in Germany, reflecting the vendor's operational location for equipment manufacturing and preparation.
