About this opportunity
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is conducting market research for a specialized four-megapixel charge-coupled device (CCD) camera designed for vacuum- and extreme-ultraviolet (VUV and EUV) light applications in semiconductor metrology. The camera must be compatible with an ultra-high vacuum system with a base pressure below 10-9 Torr and capable of operating in the 10-150 nm wavelength range. Key technical requirements include vacuum-compatible electronics, at least 75 cm of cabling, a software development kit, and a generic Windows GUI. Potential vendors are required to submit detailed responses via email, including comprehensive company information, product specifications, manufacturing location, customization capabilities, and service offerings. All respondents must be registered in SAM.gov and provide manufacturer details, technical specifications, performance capabilities, and evidence of meeting the camera's specific technical requirements.
This pre-solicitation notice is part of the CHIPS mission to develop new semiconductor device manufacturing metrology techniques and does not currently have a specific set-aside designation. While no incumbent contractors are mentioned, the opportunity is categorized under Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing (NAICS 334516) and Laboratory Equipment and Supplies (PSC 6640). The sources sought notice was posted on April 9, 2025, with responses due by April 23, 2025, indicating a relatively short market research window. No specific award value or budget range is provided in the current documentation, and the notice explicitly states that it is not a commitment to issue a solicitation. The market research responses will be used to inform potential future procurement activities related to this specialized camera technology.
