About this opportunity
The National Institute of Standards and Technology intends to award a sole-source contract to Park Seungbae for a high-performance 3D digital image correlation system supporting the CHIPS Metrology program, with contract award dated September 22, 2026.
NIST determined Park Seungbae is the only responsible source capable of meeting all minimum technical requirements. The system must measure in-situ, full-field displacement and strain of polymeric packaging compounds (underfills, redistribution layers, and thermal interface materials) under various thermal conditions. Park Seungbae's offering is the only commercial product integrating environmental chambers and a projector system necessary for the in-situ 3D measurements required to study warpage and strain during long-term aging. Market research via Sources Sought Notice NIST-SS26-CHIPS-46 issued on SAM.gov from December 10–24, 2025, yielded only Park Seungbae's response meeting all specifications.
The period of performance is seven months from award. Deliverables include system delivery, installation, training, and a minimum one-year warranty. Place of performance is Gaithersburg, Maryland. The justification cites Revolutionary FAR Overhaul 12.102 and Department of Commerce Class Deviation authority. The Contracting Officer will determine fair and reasonable pricing using independent government cost estimates and commercial pricing information. Award amount is redacted.
