Magapixel Photon Counting X-ray Camera

The National Institute of Standards and Technology seeks to procure a megapixel photon counting x-ray camera to support research at its Quantum Sensors Group. The solicitation requests quotations meeting the technical specifications attached, including an active sensor area of over 40 square centimeters capable of detecting x-rays between 6-15 keV at over 100,000 photons per second per pixel. Quotations will be evaluated based on technical approach, price, delivery date within 12 months of order, and UEI number, with the award made as a firm-fixed price contract. Responses are due by September 1, 2022 and shall be submitted electronically to the contracting officer.

There is no set-aside designation for this requirement. The NAICS code is 334516 and PSC code is J070. Quotations are sought for a single camera system to be delivered to the National Institute of Standards and Technology campus in Boulder, Colorado. The attached specifications provide numerical details on pixel size, frame rate, vacuum compatibility, and required Linux-based server to support camera readout.
