About this opportunity
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has issued a Request for Quotations for the procurement of a semi-automatic metallography grinding and polishing system for use by the Engineering Laboratory at their Gaithersburg, Maryland campus. The system must include specific technical requirements such as a 12-inch mounting disc, motorized vertical positioning, pneumatic force control, variable RPM base, and multiple specimen holders, and will be used primarily to prepare concrete samples for microstructural material analysis. This competitive procurement targets domestic sources with 1,000 or fewer employees operating in the Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing sector under NAICS code 334516. The government will evaluate quotations based on technical capability (most important factor), experience, past performance, and price, with non-price factors collectively weighted more heavily than pricing considerations. Quotations are due by 12:00 p.m. Eastern Time on August 15, 2025, with a response date of August 18, 2025.
This solicitation does not utilize any set-aside designations and operates under full and open competition procedures. The contract will be structured as a firm fixed-price purchase order with a performance period of five months from receipt of award. No specific award values or budget ranges are disclosed in the available documentation, and no incumbent contractors are identified. The equipment will be delivered to and utilized at the NIST Gaithersburg, Maryland campus located at 20899. All potential offerors must maintain current registration in the System for Award Management (SAM) to be eligible for award consideration.
