This multiple award indefinite delivery contract (IDC) was awarded by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), a civilian agency within the U.S. Department of Commerce, to Walden Consulting, LLC (doing business as Turbo Vacuum) as a total small business set-aside. The IDC has a ceiling value of $3,700,000 and a period of performance through September 23, 2025. Under this contract, Turbo Vacuum has been issued firm fixed price delivery orders to provide specialized vacuum pumps and related equipment, including ion pumps, scroll pumps, turbopumps, and turbomolecular pumping systems. The equipment has been delivered to NIST's research facilities in the United States, as well as internationally in locations like the Czech Republic, Turkey, and Germany, to support NIST's mission of advancing measurement science, standards development, and research infrastructure. As both a prime contractor and subcontractor, Turbo Vacuum has extensive experience providing high-vacuum equipment to federal agencies and prime contractors. The original pre-solicitation notice indicated that NIST was seeking various makes and models of vacuum pumps, including refurbished options, to be purchased on a brand name or equal basis for use in scientific instruments at their Gaithersburg, MD and Boulder, CO campuses. The solicitation was set aside for total small business participation, and multiple awards were anticipated prior to September 30, 2020 under the streamlined acquisition procedures of FAR Part 13.5. This IDC serves to provide NIST with a readily available source of specialized vacuum pumping systems and related equipment to support their ongoing research and metrology programs across scientific disciplines.
