About this opportunity
Paragraph 1:
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is seeking information from vendors capable of providing a Precision Interferometer. NIST's Sources and Detectors Group requires this interferometer to measure pulsed laser momentum. The key technical requirements include interferometer type, fiber-coupled output, number of axes, visible alignment beam, collimator diameter, working distance, resolution, vacuum compatibility, sample rate, data output mode, user interface, and electrical power. NIST is looking for vendors that can meet these specifications and deliver one optimized prototype interferometer within 20 weeks of order receipt. NIST will use the responses to this sources sought notice to determine whether to proceed with a sole-source or competitive procurement.
Paragraph 2:
This requirement is not set aside for any specific business size. NIST has not identified any potential incumbents or current contractors. The related NAICS code is 334516, Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing, with a small business size standard of 1,000 employees. NIST has not provided any details on the potential award value or budget range for this procurement. The pre-solicitation notice is requesting capability statements from interested vendors by May 8, 2024.
