About this file
This is a Sources Sought announcement issued by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Acquisition Management Division to conduct market research for potential vendors of Cryocooler Vacuum Chambers. This is not a Request for Proposal, Request for Quote, or commitment to award a contract. NIST is seeking information from all responsible sources, including large and small businesses, to identify vendors capable of manufacturing Cryocooler Vacuum Chambers to specified requirements. The results will determine if at least two qualified small businesses exist to support a potential small business set-aside procurement. If two or more qualified small businesses are identified during this market research phase, the acquisition will be solicited as a small business set-aside. The requirement carries NAICS code 333242 (Semiconductor Machinery Manufacturing) with a small business size standard of 1,500 employees.
Interested vendors must submit electronic capability statements limited to four pages or less to Contract Specialist Matthew M. Delgado at matthew.delgado@nist.gov by the deadline posted in the notice. Responses must include: company name providing the product, manufacturing company name, country of origin or manufacture, specification/data sheets and product examples demonstrating experience with the requirements, typical lead time for delivery after order receipt, and any other relevant information for specification development. Sales brochures and marketing materials will not be considered. Proprietary information should be clearly marked. No quotes will be accepted at this time, and the Government will not pay for information submitted. A detailed Requirements and Specifications document is attached to the announcement for reference.
