Title: Move of a ThermoFisher Scientific Scios 2 FIB-SEM Requesting Lab: Material Measurement Laboratory (MML)

I. BACKGROUND INFORMATION

The Material Measurement Laboratory (MML) at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is involved in materials characterization efforts involving the use of dual-beam focused ion beam scanning electron (FIB-SEM) microscopes.

We have a technical requirement to move an existing ThermoFisher Scientific Scios 2 FIB- SEM to a different room on the same floor in the current building to accommodate changing programmatic needs for the current space.

II. SCOPE

The Contractor shall de-install the Scios 2, move it to another lab located within the same floor of the same building, and then re-install it in the new location. The contractor shall perform acceptance testing to ensure that the microscope, once relocated, meets the factory performance specifications.

III. MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS

The Contractor shall provide the following:

CLIN 0001: Move of Scios 2 FIB-SEM Description: Contractor shall de-install the Scios 2, move it to another laboratory on the same floor of the current building, and then re-install the Scios 2, and verify that it meets the factory specifications of performance.

Quantity: one (1)

The MCP gate shall:

• Employ a nanosecond high-voltage pulse to gate the MCP detector in our CAMECA LEAP 4000 X-Si.

• The MCP gate will decrease the voltage on the MCPs by a sufficient amount that the MCPs are not saturated. In this way, it is possible to maintain a high sensitivity, even near very intense bunches, which are “gated off” and would otherwise saturate our detector.

• The gate pulse should be applied such that it does not affect the electric fields inside the flight tube of the TOF mass spectrometer.

• Enable the detector to act as a fast shutter to ignore specific signals in a defined TOF window relative to the trigger pulse (t0).

• Allow fast switching of MCP amplification, thus allowing NIST to choose to ignore signals that arrive in a specific time window following the trigger signal in the TOF mass spectrometry measurement required for performing atom probe tomography.

• Accommodate pulse frequency rates from 100 kHz to 200 kHz.

Technical Specifications:

A. MCP Gate Hardware: The MCP gate shall include hardware that meets the following requirements:

• The MCP gate module upgrade shall be installed on an existing CAMECA LEAP

4000 X-Si instrument (S/N 5020) at NIST Boulder Laboratories.

• The MCP gate module upgrade shall include any necessary hardware including high voltage supply, timing electronics, cables, etc. NIST will supply a trigger puylse from a mode-locked laser and will supply a digital delay generator for moving the gated time window.

• The MCP gate module upgrade shall allow for gating our TOF mass spectrometry signal to ignore specific timing events of NIST choosing (e.g. events caused from scattering of electrons or ions in the vacuum chamber of the APT microscope).

B. MCP Gate LEAP Integration

• Control and operation of the MCP gate shall be fully integrated into the existing

CAMECA LEAP 4000 X-Si instrument and controlled through a digital delay generator (supplied by NIST).

C. Warranty and Service

• One (1) year warranty (to cover parts, labor, and travel) shall be included with the MCP gate module. The warranty shall cover the entire system and include on-site, telephone, and e-mail support. All costs including parts, labor, travel, and other expenses necessary to repair the system (including all Contractor supplied hardware) shall be borne solely by the contractor at no additional cost to the U.S.

Government as long as the existing factory warranty for the LEAP microscope is in place and active. Warranty start date is the date of site acceptance.

D. Delivery

• Upon successful factory testing, the contractor shall be responsible for delivering the MCP gate module to its final location in a NIST-designated laboratory.

• The contractor shall schedule all visits to NIST with the COR at least 1 week before arriving at the site.

E. Contractor Supplied Materials

• The contractor shall supply all parts, hardware, equipment, and labor required to perform the tasks listed.

The Contractor has the right to be present during the tests and evaluations, if performed, at the Contractor’s expense.

Performance Tests:

• Site Acceptance: At the NIST site, the Contractor shall acquire data on the NIST instrument using NIST supplied or contractor supplied test specimens including aluminum and silicon or tungsten. The data shall be required to demonstrate conformance with the performance specifications defined in the Minimum Requirements section of this document.

NIST may choose at its discretion to forego this part of acceptance testing.

A visual inspection of the equipment will be performed by the NIST POC to identify surface defects or any form of indication that any equipment was damaged during transport to NIST. The Government shall have sole discretion to require repair or replacement of damaged and/or nonconforming supplies at no cost to the Government. The Government at any time prior to acceptance shall reject the equipment due to defects and/or nonconformance. The vendor is responsible for latent defects discovered any time after final inspection. However, the extent of its liability shall be prorated over the useful life of the equipment.

Ownership of the equipment shall transfer to NIST per FOB Destination terms.

The Government will test, inspect, and accept or reject the equipment within 4 weeks of the receipt of the equipment unless otherwise indicated above. The Government reserves the right to conduct quality assurance testing to confirm that a given instrument(s) meets the manufacturer’s and/or the Government’s performance specifications.

XI. CYBERSECURITY PRIVACY REQUIREMENTS

NIST seeks a solution that provides security and privacy protection consistent with requirements defined by applicable federal laws, regulations, policies, and standards (e.g., the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA), OMB Circular A-130, and FIPS Publication 200). The solution provider (including subcontractors) may meet these requirements through various means, including but not limited to FedRAMP authorization, current third-party assessments (e.g., SSAE, PCI), and/or responses to NIST special publication control set SP 800-171.

Minimally Acceptable Controls

• System security plan describing physical, technical, and administrative controls implemented to protect systems and sensitive personally identifiable information (SPII).

• IT management processes to establish and manage secure configuration baselines including routine patching for all operating systems and applications.

• Access to SPII is restricted to those with a need to know. Personnel with access to SPII have background investigations performed (e.g. criminal, financial etc.), and are trained on secure handling of SPII.

• Access Controls for SPII meet or exceed industry best practices for access and identification control including, but not limited to, connectivity to servers and databases, multi-factor authentication for remote accesses for administration, secure configurations for any devices accessing the system, and strong physical security for any place where the data is accessed.

• The solution supports multifactor authentication for users and/or supports integration with customer federation services for Single-Sign capability.

• Processes for scanning on a continual basis for vulnerabilities and proper configurations for all aspects of the system, as well as processes for timely mitigation of findings.

• Auditing and Incident Response processes including customer notification of suspected or actual incidents and logging with sufficient information to perform forensics on any incident. Processes for notifying and providing appropriate mitigations, including but not limited to credit monitoring services, for subsidy applicants in the event of suspected or actual incidents.

• SPII is encrypted in transit using TLS 1.2 or better and encrypted at rest in all places the SPII is stored. All encryption algorithms and modules are FIPS 140-2/140-3 validated.

If unable to meet any of the requirements listed above, the solution provider may provide details of mitigations or alternative protections in place to ensure the appropriate handling and protection of SPII.

If the solution provider provides services to other Federal agencies, provide a general description of the security risk management approach and client point of contact.
