About this opportunity
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) under the Department of Commerce has issued a Request for Quote for specialized vacuum valves required for the CHIPS project at the SURF III synchrotron beamline facility. The procurement seeks specific ultra-high vacuum equipment including 2 DN100 pneumatic UHV gate valves, 1 DN40 pneumatic UHV gate valve, 2 DN40 manual UHV gate valves, and 4 all-metal right angle valves from VAT Group AG. These valves are critical for isolating vacuum sections, enabling venting and pumping operations, and protecting the SURF III accelerator infrastructure. Quotations will be evaluated based on technical capability and price reasonableness, with electronic submissions required by August 21, 2025, at 11:00 AM ET. The solicitation includes standard federal contracting provisions and cybersecurity requirements that must be met by potential contractors.
This opportunity is designated as a set-aside for Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) enterprises, though the original posting indicated it was for Total Small Business set-aside. The procurement specifies VAT Group AG as the source for these specialized vacuum components, suggesting either a sole source requirement or preferred supplier arrangement. No specific contract value or budget range has been disclosed in the available documentation. The contractor must deliver all vacuum valve components within 16 weeks of order receipt to NIST's primary facility located in Gaithersburg, Maryland. The total quantity involves 9 specialized vacuum valves of various configurations designed for ultra-high vacuum applications in synchrotron beamline operations.
