About this opportunity
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is seeking a photonic probe station to support the CHIPS Metrology Program's research in semiconductor manufacturing. The system must provide automated and flexible electro-optic probing capabilities for multiple photonic test structures at the die level, with specific requirements including die mounting for 3-20mm sizes, precision positioning, temperature control, and comprehensive software automation. The solicitation includes one primary line item for the probe station plus four optional items: an additional electrical probe positioner and three software driver implementations for NIST instruments. The government will evaluate offers based on technical capability, relevant experience, and price, with technical factors considered more important than price. Quotations must be submitted electronically by July 11, 2025 at 12:00 PM EDT to specified NIST contacts, with comprehensive proposals required across four volumes covering technical specifications, experience, pricing, and terms.
This procurement is designated as a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing) with a size standard of 1,000 employees. The contract will be firm-fixed-price with FOB destination shipping, and payment of 100% will be made after installation, acceptance, and successful demonstration of all technical requirements. Delivery is specified for NIST's Gaithersburg, Maryland facility with a 20-week timeline after contract award, followed by on-site installation and training within two weeks. The contract includes a minimum 12-month warranty and must comply with cybersecurity privacy requirements. No incumbent contractors or specific budget ranges are identified in the solicitation documents, and the system is intended to advance measurement methods for integrated photonics manufacturing as part of NIST's broader semiconductor metrology initiatives.
