CBr4 Gas Delivery System

The National Institute of Standards and Technology seeks procurement of one cryogenic CBr4 gas delivery system, with quotations due July 24, 2026. This is a total small business set-aside.

Place of performance is NIST's Boulder, Colorado facility (325 Broadway, Boulder, CO 80305). The system must deliver carbon tetrabromide gas for carbon doping in molecular beam epitaxy applications, compatible with VEECO GEN10 MBE systems and VEECO molly software. The system must achieve doping in the range of 1e16 cm³ to 1e20 cm³ in MBE-grown GaAs at 1 monolayer/second, maintain UHV compatibility, include heated injection lines to prevent condensation, and provide closed-loop pressure control with stability of less than 0.2 mTorr. The procured system must be an established commercial product with at least one operational unit already in the field; experimental or prototype items are unacceptable. It must be new (not refurbished) and covered by the original manufacturer's full warranty, with no gray market components. Delivery is required within 26 weeks after receipt of order, with acceptance expected within seven days of delivery. The vendor must provide on-site technician support for uncrating, unpackaging, and equipment setup, along with one-year manufacturer warranty covering parts and electronic manuals.

NAICS code is 334413, Semiconductor and Related Device Manufacturing, with a small business size standard of 1,250 employees. PSC code is 6640, Laboratory Equipment and Supplies. Award is made to the responsible offeror with the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable quote, evaluated on technical capability (acceptable/unacceptable basis) and price reasonableness. Quotations must include firm fixed pricing with all shipping and delivery fees, Net 30 payment terms, and identify country of origin and applicable tariffs if applicable. Offerors must maintain active SAM registration with completed representations and certifications.
