About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Air Combat Command (325 CONS) is conducting market research for the procurement of a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) with highly specific technical requirements. The agency seeks a sophisticated instrument with minimum 50X magnification, 10 nm resolution at 0.5kV, Windows PC-based interface, and computer-assisted optics system operation. Critical specifications include an eight-hour battery backup power supply, goniometer sample stage with Z-position tilt, stage camera with visible spectra live-imaging, and an Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) system larger than 60mm² that must be manufacturer-serviced. The vendor must provide comprehensive service support including multiple market-located service technicians, on-site manufacturer training for hardware and software, and respond to warranty calls with repair completion within 20 business days. Interested parties must submit their responses by September 2, 2025, including capabilities statements and supporting documentation to assist with the government's market research efforts.
This pre-solicitation notice does not designate any set-aside provisions, making it open to all qualified vendors regardless of business size or socioeconomic status. No incumbent contractors or potential award values are specified in the current market research phase, as this appears to be an initial assessment of available commercial solutions. The procurement falls under NAICS code 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing) and PSC code 6640 (Laboratory Equipment and Supplies), indicating the specialized nature of the required equipment. Unique technical capabilities must include live mapping while imaging, 3D mapping/reconstruction, EDS overlay with individual elements, and the ability to operate without network connectivity for maintenance or repair. The vendor must provide a minimum one-year warranty covering all parts and labor, with the requirement to maintain service capability throughout the warranty period.
