About this file

This document is a Requirements and Specifications file for a 1K helium-4 sorption cooler issued by the Physical Measurement Laboratory (PML), Applied Physics Division 686, Faint Photonics Group at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The agency requires three helium-4 sorption coolers capable of reaching 1 Kelvin temperatures, specifically for measuring superconducting-nanowire single photon detectors. Key technical specifications include: at least 250μW of cooling at 1K for 24 hours, a closed-cycle system reusable without additional cryogens, and a diameter smaller than 100mm.

The solicitation (NB686060-25-00612) includes detailed requirements for delivery, installation, and performance. Delivery, installation, and training must be completed within 8 weeks after receipt of order (ARO). Facility considerations specify three-phase power at 200V, 50A, and utility connections for cooling water. The equipment will be installed in a common laboratory environment, with government acceptance testing expected to take up to 21 business days. Installation may require up to two weeks, and a vendor technician will be on-site for setup and start-up services.
