About this opportunity
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) within the Department of Commerce is conducting market research for the procurement of a semi-automatic metallography grinding and polishing system for concrete sample preparation and microstructural material analysis. The required system must include specific technical capabilities such as a 12-inch magnetized mounting disc, specimen leveler, motorized vertical positioning, pneumatic force control, variable rpm base, method selection interface, and multiple specimen holder configurations. The system must also come with grinding and polishing plates, media suspensions ranging from 9m to 0.25m, and a work light. This opportunity is classified under NAICS code 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing) and is specifically targeting small businesses defined as having no more than 1,000 employees. Potential vendors must submit their responses by August 4, 2025, at 12:00 PM EST, providing detailed information about their equipment including manufacturer details, technical specifications, performance capabilities, manufacturing location, available services, and customer references.
This procurement opportunity does not utilize any set-aside designations beyond the small business targeting mentioned in the market research parameters. No information regarding potential incumbents, current contractors, or award values has been disclosed in the sources sought notice. The solicitation is currently in the pre-solicitation phase as a market research exercise, with NIST emphasizing that this notice does not guarantee a contract award. The procurement falls under PSC category 6640 for Laboratory Equipment and Supplies, indicating the specialized nature of the analytical instrumentation being sought. The timeline is relatively short, with only eleven days provided from the posting date of July 24, 2025, to the response deadline of August 4, 2025.
