About this opportunity

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is conducting market research to procure a process Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectrometer-microscope instrument for analytical laboratory use. The agency requires a high-precision instrument with specific technical specifications, including a permanently aligned interferometer, diode laser, temperature-controlled detector, microscope accessory, and compatible data system. The instrument must cover specific spectral ranges, achieve a resolution better than 0.4 cm-1, and be capable of measuring mammalian cell cultures. Potential vendors are expected to respond with detailed company information, capabilities, and reseller authorization. The sources sought notice is classified under NAICS code 334516 for Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing, with responses to be submitted via email to Brandon Butler and Julie Morris by June 09, 2025.

This pre-solicitation notice does not have a specific set-aside designation and represents a comprehensive procurement package that includes delivery, installation in Rockville, MD, training for up to 3 personnel, and a one-year warranty. While no specific award value is mentioned, the procurement involves one (1) FTIR spectrometer-microscope instrument with FOB destination delivery. The solicitation is a market research effort and does not guarantee a future contract award, with responses primarily intended to inform NIST's procurement strategy. The instrument will be categorized under PSC code 6640 for Laboratory Equipment and Supplies, indicating its specialized scientific research application. Interested vendors should carefully review the technical requirements and be prepared to demonstrate their ability to meet the precise specifications outlined in the government file.
