About this opportunity
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is conducting market research to identify sources for one confocal laser scanning microscope, with responses due by August 4, 2026. This is a sources sought notice; no award will be made from this inquiry, and responding is not required to participate in any future solicitation.
NIST seeks an Olympus LEXT OLS5500 confocal laser scanning microscope to replace an obsolete 2017-model unit. The equipment will support the Quantum Measurements Division's characterization of epitaxial graphene samples used in quantum Hall resistance standards research and development. Place of performance is NIST's facility.
Required specifications include reflection-type confocal laser scanning configuration, violet and white light sources, fully automated computer-controlled operation, minimum X and Y travel distances of 100 millimeters, and specified lateral resolution capabilities. The contractor must deliver under FOB Destination (or equivalent INCOTERM such as DDP) and provide a one-year warranty. This is a commercial supply contract subject to domestic product preference if the equipment is commercially available. Contract type is Firm Fixed Price. All costs associated with responding to this sources sought notice are the responsibility of interested parties. Interested vendors should reference the attached sources sought notice for complete response instructions and technical details.
