About this opportunity

The Naval Research Laboratory issued a Notice of Intent to award a sole source purchase order to Twinleaf LLC of Plainsboro, New Jersey for magnetic shield chambers and vapor cells, with a response deadline of September 25, 2026. This is not a competitive solicitation; NRL has determined that only one responsible source can satisfy its requirements. The procurement includes a four-layer magnetic shield set with three-axis internal field coils and five first-order gradient coils, a low-noise bipolar programmable current supply rated at 1,000 mA, and five borosilicate glass vapor cells with cesium and varying neon pressures (vacuum, 2 Torr, 10 Torr, 20 Torr, and 100 Torr). The purchase will be made under Simplified Acquisition Procedures per FAR 13.106-1(b), with an estimated value not exceeding the $250,000 simplified acquisition threshold. NAICS code 541715 (Research and Development in Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences) applies, with PSC R425.
