About this opportunity
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) within the Department of Commerce is seeking to procure a Quantum Network pluggable 2-channel superconducting nanowire single-photon detector system. This specialized analytical laboratory instrument falls under NAICS code 334516 for Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing and PSC code 6640 for Laboratory Equipment and Supplies. The procurement follows streamlined procedures under FAR Part 13 for simplified acquisition and is structured as a Combined Synopsis/Solicitation for Commercial Items in accordance with FAR Subpart 12.6. The solicitation includes supporting documentation consisting of provisions and clauses, the main solicitation document, and detailed technical requirements specifications. Interested parties must submit their proposals by July 15, 2025, providing a tight two-week response window from the June 30, 2025 posting date.
This procurement opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, restricting competition to qualified small business concerns. The contract will be performed in Gaithersburg, Maryland 20899, at NIST's primary facility location. The quantum networking equipment represents cutting-edge photonic detection technology essential for quantum communication and networking research applications. While specific award values and quantities are not disclosed in the summary notice, the technical nature of the superconducting nanowire single-photon detector system suggests this is a specialized, high-value procurement for advanced quantum research infrastructure. The 2-channel configuration indicates the system will support dual-channel photon detection capabilities for sophisticated quantum networking experiments and measurements.
