About this opportunity
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is procuring a 4K Cryogen-Free Traveling Cryostat for their Superconductive Electronics Group's Josephson Voltage Standard system verification. This specialized laboratory equipment must provide at least 100 mW of cooling power at temperatures below 4 K with temperature fluctuations less than 20 mK peak-to-peak, operate on standard 120V/60 Hz power consuming less than 1.5 kW, and include passive magnetic shielding that reduces magnetic field to less than 0.01 times earth's field strength. The cryostat must be designed for a standard 19-inch 25 U rack configuration and be suitable for ground/air shipping without requiring user assembly. NIST will evaluate quotations using a Best Value approach that considers both technical capability and price, with the lowest technically acceptable price receiving priority. The submission deadline was extended through Amendment 1 from August 29, 2025 at 2:00 PM MDT to September 2, 2025 at 10:00 AM MDT to increase competitive participation.
This procurement is designated as a 100% Total Small Business Set-Aside under NAICS code 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing) with a size standard of 1,000 employees. The solicitation seeks one unit of the cryostat system with delivery required within 10 months after receipt of order to NIST's facility at 325 Broadway in Boulder, Colorado. While the specific contract value is not disclosed, the procurement includes a firm fixed price purchase order structure with Net 30 payment terms and a one-year base manufacturer warranty covering labor and parts. All equipment must be new and unused, with used, reconditioned, or refurbished items explicitly excluded from consideration. The place of performance is the United States, with delivery specifically required to NIST's Boulder, Colorado location.
