About this opportunity
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration published a Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice to procure one DWL 66+ maskless lithography system from Heidelberg Instruments for an estimated $80,000. The notice cites the system's unique grayscale exposure modes as restrictive and necessary to replace an existing DWL 66FS lithography system at NASA's Langley Research Center, in order to continue microstructure fabrication research and development. A synopsis was published on September 7th with a response deadline of September 22nd. Heidelberg Instruments, as the incumbent vendor, submitted the only compliant quote on September 16th with an estimated eight month delivery timeframe.
Notice text
The Government determined that all supplies and services were restrictive per the rationale supporting the use of 10 U.S.C 2304(c):
The DWL 66+ features a unique Grayscale Exposure Mode capable of creating complex 2.5D microstructures such as micro-optics for mobile applications, diffraction optical elements (DOE), computer-generated holograms, and structured surfaces. The DWL 66+ is ideal for research and development in microelectronics, microfluidics, sensors, non-standard substrates, advanced packaging, specifically — virtually any optics / electronics device application that requires microstructure fabrication. This system will be used to take over/replace the existing DWL 66FS system at NASA Langley’s Research Center located within the ISO5 cleanroom, which was previously procured on contract NNL08AD23P as a Sole Source to Heidelberg Instruments in 2008. In order to meet the projected timeline, the Governments best option is to sole source this item.
Awarded contract 80TECH22PA018 to unknown vendor for unknown amount on 2022-09-28.
