This acquisition is being competed under full and open competition. All interested parties may submit a quotation for consideration.

BACKGROUND:

The Microsystems and Nanotechnology Division (MND) within the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s (NIST) Physical Measurement Lab (PML) develops integrated microsystems by advancing the state of the art in nanofabrication, thereby enabling the transfer of NIST measurement technologies to the industrial, academic, and government communities. The MND’s Single Emitters Group performs cryogenic optical microscopy and spectroscopy measurements of single quantum emitters in chip-based photonic structures.

A closed-cycle, cryogen‐free cryostat system that allows flexible, free-space optics-based as well as optical fiber-based optical access to the cold sample is required to further advance projects vital to the research goals of the laboratory. The optical measurements intended to be performed using the cryogen-free cryostat system include optical transmission and reflection spectroscopy of chip-scale photonic devices containing quantum emitters (such as quantum dots or organic dye molecules), micro-photoluminescence and time-correlated single-photon counting of single quantum emitters embedded in chip-based nanophotonic devices, and high resolution fluorescence microscopy of single quantum emitters in thin films and fabricated photonic devices.

The MDN requires a closed‐cycle, cryogen free cryostat using a variable flow helium compressor, liquid helium generation and recirculation, or equivalent cooling approach. Cooldown of the system shall be achievable in an automated fashion, with all control software included. The system shall have sufficient interior sample chamber space to accommodate at least one set of cryogenic nanopositioning stages, for coarse and fine positioning of an optical fiber-based probe with respect to a sample, as well as a fixed, compatible fixed sample mount. The system shall be able to reach a temperature of 1.8 K or lower at a sample in vacuum environment, sitting on top of nanopositioning stage stack or fixed sample mount, while maintaining good temperature and vibration stability. The stages and requisite control electronics shall be included in the purchase. The sample chamber shall allow simple integration into typical, table-top microscopy and optical spectroscopy setups. Optical access from the top of the sample chamber is needed for integration with existing photoluminescence spectroscopy setups, and fiber optic and electrical feedthroughs are also needed. Modular vacuum shrouds are required to allow free-space optics-based access to the sample through either an in-chamber, high numerical aperture microscope objective, or long working distance objectives external to the chamber. The in-chamber objective option is required to reduce optical aberrations allowing the highest resolution in microscopy-based measurements. The ex-chamber objective option is required to allow microscopic imaging of large devices with an optical system in which the objective may be spatially translated across the entire extent of the top cryostat window. The system shall have, for both shroud options, sufficiently low vibrations at the sample to allow stable and low-drift device probing with optical fibers, minimize resolution loss in microscopy-based measurements, and minimize instability and drift of free-space optical excitation and collected signals.

All items must be new. Prototypes, first articles, demonstration models, used, refurbished or otherwise developmental systems, will not be considered for award.

All offerors shall provide a firm-fixed-price quotation for the following:

MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS:

System shall be a closed-cycle cryostat using a variable flow helium compressor, liquid helium generation and recirculation or equivalent cooling approach. The compressor shall be air-cooled. Both the cryo-cooler and the variable flow helium compressor including any vacuum pumps shall be included in the offered system.

Both vacuum shrouds shall include all the necessary parts for thermal connection to the cold-plate. Both shall be reconfigurable to allow supplemental pumping with an external pumping system.

The objective choice shall be reviewed with the end user after award of the contract but prior to beginning construction of the system

CAR 1352.213-70 , Evaluation Utilizing Simplified Acquisition Procedures (APR 2010)

Evaluation Factors:

The Government will issue an order resulting from this request for quotation to the responsible offeror whose quotation results in the best value to the Government, considering both price and non-price factors.

The Government will evaluate quotations based on the following evaluation criteria:

1) Technical Capability

2) Past Performance

3) Experience

4) Price

Technical capability, past performance and experience, when combined, shall be approximately equal in importance to price. If Technical Capability, Past Performance and Experience are equivalent, price shall be the determining factor.

(1) Technical Capability:

No prototypes, demonstration models, used or refurbished instruments will be considered. Evaluation of technical capability shall be based on the information provided in the quotation. NIST will evaluate whether the offeror has demonstrated that its proposed equipment meets or exceeds all minimum requirements. Examples of measurement data submitted will be also be analyzed to further evaluate the ability of the system to meet the minimum technical specifications. Quotations that do not demonstrate the proposed equipment meets all minimum requirements will not be considered further for award. If an offeror does not indicate whether its proposed equipment meets a certain specification, NIST will determine that it does not.

All offerors must be able to meet the minimum technical requirements as posted to be considered for an award. Higher technical consideration shall be given to systems that are able to exceed the minimum requirements listed under specifications 7 and 8. Of these two higher technical considerations, exceeding minimum specification 8, is slightly more important.

Note: Past performance and experience shall not be evaluated for offerors who are deemed technically unacceptable. Offerors that do not meet the minimum requirements, shall not be considered further for an award.

(2) Past Performance:

The Government will evaluate the Offerors past performance information and, if appropriate, its proposed subcontractors' past performance to determine its relevance to the current requirement and the extent to which it demonstrates that the offeror has successfully completed relevant contracts in the past five years. In assessing the offerors past performance information, NIST will evaluate, as appropriate, successful performance of contract requirements, quality and timeliness of delivery of goods and services, cost management, communications between contracting parties, proactive management and customer satisfaction. Evaluation of this factor will be based on information contained in the technical portion of the quotation and information provided by references. The Government will evaluate past performance information by contacting appropriate references, including NIST references, if applicable. The Government may also consider other available information in evaluating the offerors past performance. The Government will assign a neutral rating if the offeror has no relevant past performance information.

(3) Experience:

Experience will be evaluated to determine the degree of vendors’ experience in successfully providing comparable systems for the types of applications in which NIST will be using this equipment. The vendor shall have experience designing, constructing, and installing the same or similar systems with the desired capabilities similar to the ones required here. Evaluation of experience may be based on contacts used for past performance; however, the vendor should provide additional references relating to its experience information, if necessary.

(4) Price: Price shall be evaluated for reasonableness
