About this opportunity

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is soliciting quotes for three 9.4T 5mm NMR RF probes to enhance magnetic resonance measurement capabilities at their Physical Measurement Laboratory in Boulder, Colorado. The procurement is specifically for specialized scientific equipment with detailed technical requirements including specific frequency ranges, temperature capabilities, and probe design specifications. Quotes must be submitted electronically to lisa.stevens@nist.gov by January 24, 2025, and must include technical capability demonstrations, firm fixed pricing, shipping details, country of origin, and proof of active SAM registration. The contract will be awarded using a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) evaluation method, with technical capability and price serving as the primary assessment criteria. Vendors are expected to provide electronic manuals and be prepared for government acceptance testing within 7 business days of delivery.

This solicitation is set aside exclusively for small businesses within the Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing NAICS category (334516), with a size standard of 1,000 employees. The procurement requires delivery within 16 weeks after order receipt, with goods to be delivered FOB destination at NIST's 325 Broadway location in Boulder, Colorado. While no specific contract value is mentioned, the requirement for three highly specialized NMR probes suggests a potentially significant investment in scientific research equipment. The probes must meet precise technical specifications, including compatibility with a 408mm depth gradient/shim insert, a 41mm bore diameter, and capabilities for variable temperature testing from -80 to +120 Celsius. Vendors will need to demonstrate the ability to manufacture probes with specific performance characteristics, including a 2.2 Hz 1H linewidth and minimal 13C background signals.
