About this award
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) awarded a $348,683 firm fixed-price purchase order to Menlo Systems Inc. on April 23, 2026, for an optical frequency comb control electronic system, with performance scheduled to be completed by October 12, 2026. This award was issued without set-aside designation and represents NIST's procurement of specialized optical diagnostic instrumentation to support the CHIPS Metrology Program's research into semiconductor manufacturing processes. The contract work will be performed in Germany, where Menlo Systems maintains capabilities to develop and deliver high-precision optical measurement instrumentation.
This procurement originated from a pre-solicitation market research notice issued in December 2025, wherein NIST sought sources for mid-infrared femtosecond laser systems, control electronics, and optical frequency reference equipment to enable time-resolved frequency comb diagnostics for plasma etching applications. The optical frequency comb system being delivered under this contract will support NIST's Grand Challenge 5 project, which aims to develop advanced metrology tools for semiconductor manufacturing through novel broadband laser spectroscopy capable of studying chemical transformations in plasma etching processes. Menlo Systems Inc., a foreign-owned technology provider based in Boulder, Colorado, has established itself as a reliable supplier of advanced scientific equipment to NIST and other federal agencies, with over $1.8 million in cumulative contract awards since 2021.
