About this award
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) awarded a $67.2K firm fixed-price purchase order to Chase Research Cryogenics LTD, a United Kingdom-based manufacturer of advanced cryogenic cooling equipment, for the delivery of three 1K helium-4 sorption coolers. The contract, designated OU68-25-NEW-089, was awarded on April 29, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of August 18, 2025. The coolers are intended for use in measuring superconducting-nanowire single photon detectors at NIST's Boulder, Colorado facility, supporting the agency's scientific research and development initiatives. The solicitation was conducted as an unrestricted Request for Quotation under Simplified Acquisition Procedures with no set-aside designation, evaluated on a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable basis.
The contract specifications required Chase Research Cryogenics LTD to deliver closed-cycle sorption coolers capable of delivering a minimum of 250 milliwatts of cooling at 1 Kelvin for 24 hours without requiring additional cryogens. The coolers must meet stringent dimensional and technical requirements, including a diameter smaller than 100 millimeters and compatibility with three-phase 200-volt, 50-amp power supplies and utility water connections. The vendor's eight-week delivery timeline from order receipt, combined with up to two weeks for on-site installation and technician support, aligns with NIST's research infrastructure needs for advanced measurement capabilities. This represents Chase Research Cryogenics LTD's continued engagement with federal civilian agencies, building on the company's established track record of delivering specialized cryogenic cooling systems to research institutions.
