The procurement is for a specialized heating/biasing sample holder capable of operating at temperatures up to 900°C and applying voltages up to 40V, designed for in-operando studies of electrical and optical devices. The RFQ will be evaluated on three primary factors: Technical Capability, Experience, and Price, with non-price factors being significantly more important than price. Vendors must submit electronic quotations by the specified due date of May 8, 2025, with technical quotations limited to 6 single-sided pages. Questions regarding the solicitation must be submitted by May 1, 2025, at 2:00 PM Mountain Standard Time, and all communications must reference the specific solicitation number.
The contract is an unrestricted competition with a small business size standard of 1,000 employees under NAICS code 334516 for Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing. The procurement includes the sample holder, installation, acceptance testing, and training for up to four NIST staff members, with a total contract period of approximately 3 months. Delivery is expected within 2 months after receipt of order, with installation and acceptance to be completed within 1 month of delivery, followed by training. The place of performance is Boulder, Colorado (80305), specifically at NIST's Physical Measurement Laboratory. The solicitation includes optional line items such as software for data export, user scripting, and additional microscope compatibility, with the total contract to be awarded as a firm-fixed price purchase order to the vendor providing the best overall value to the government.
