The National Institute of Standards and Technology awarded a purchase order to Direct Dimensions Inc. for an Artec Leo handheld 3D laser scanner with supporting software, valued at $42,000, on September 23, 2026. This is a total small business set-aside. Place of performance is Luxembourg. The order calls for delivery of one Artec Leo scanner meeting 18 technical specifications including 0.1 mm 3D point accuracy, 35 million points per second data acquisition speed, and integrated WiFi and Ethernet connectivity, along with an Artec Studio Pro lifetime subscription. Delivery is due within 30 days of award, with government acceptance testing to follow within 30 business days. Full payment occurs upon installation and acceptance. The order closes October 31, 2026. The procurement originated from a June 2026 solicitation (NAICS 334516) in which market research determined only Artec Leo scanners met the required data acquisition rate, supporting the brand-name-only approach.
