About this opportunity
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is conducting market research to identify potential vendors capable of providing software development services for the ARTIQ experimental control system, specifically focusing on ARTIQ Zynq Batching and ndscan compatibility. The procurement seeks software, firmware, and gateware development to enhance the throughput of RTIO events from Zynq-based core devices through batching and enable use of the ndscan ARTIQ extension package without requiring system patches. Interested vendors must submit four-page capability statements that include company identification, manufacturing details, country of origin, product specifications, typical lead times, and relevant experience demonstrating their ability to meet the technical requirements. The requirement falls under NAICS code 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing) with a small business size standard of 1,000 employees. Responses must be submitted electronically to Contracting Officer Angela Hitt at angela.hitt@nist.gov by July 25, 2025.
Currently, no set-aside designation has been determined, though NIST will consider establishing a small business set-aside if at least two qualified small businesses are identified during this market research phase. The sources sought notice does not identify any incumbent contractors or current service providers for this specialized ARTIQ system development work. No budget ranges or award values are specified in the pre-solicitation materials, as this is purely a market research effort to assess vendor capabilities before determining the acquisition method. The technical specifications require implementation of RTIO event batching, development of a new context manager for event transmission, and full integration into the main ARTIQ GitHub repository, though specific timelines for deliverables are not detailed in the current documentation. This procurement represents a specialized technical requirement for quantum physics laboratory instrumentation software development within NIST's Ion Storage Group.
