About this file

This document is a set of requirements and specifications for a federal contract opportunity from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) for the purchase of 44 liters of helium-3 gas. The Advanced Microwave Photonics Group at NIST requires the helium-3 gas to commission dilution refrigerator cryostats for testing and measurement of superconducting quantum circuits. NIST intends to negotiate a sole source award with Linde Gas & Equipment Inc. for this requirement under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b) due to the specialized nature of the gas. The gas must meet specific purity and volume requirements, and be delivered in an appropriate gas cylinder. The requirement includes delivery to the specified location and installation, but no other services. NIST is allowing interested parties to demonstrate their capability to meet the requirement in writing by the response date in order to determine if competitive procedures could be used. An award is anticipated by 08/09/2024.
