About this opportunity
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is conducting market research to procure two high precision dual channel modular pressure controllers for its Chemical Sciences Division's Direct Air Capture research program. The procurement seeks vendors capable of supplying controllers that can independently measure and control gas pressures with exceptional precision (within 0.004%) across a 0.3 to 1.5 bar range. This pre-solicitation notice is a sources sought market research tool designed to identify potential suppliers before issuing a formal solicitation, categorized under NAICS code 334519 with a 600-employee size standard. Interested businesses must submit electronic capability statements limited to four pages, including details about product manufacturing, origin, specifications, and typical lead times. The deadline for submitting capability statements is June 9, 2025, with responses to be sent via email to Contract Specialist de Ionne Jones.
The procurement is currently not set aside for any specific business size, though NIST will convert the acquisition to a small business set-aside if at least two qualified small businesses are identified during this market research phase. The pressure controllers must meet specific technical requirements, including rack-mountable design, U.S. electrical standards, and communication via RS-232 protocol, with an expected delivery timeline of 61 days after contract award. While no specific award value is mentioned, the solicitation indicates a competitive procurement will be conducted on the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) following this research phase. The controllers are intended to support research into developing instrumentation and measurement techniques for Direct Air Capture technologies. Vendors are required to specify their product's country of manufacture and provide comprehensive documentation demonstrating their capability to meet the detailed technical specifications.
