About this opportunity
The National Institute of Standards and Technology issued a combined sources sought notice and notice of intent to sole source a high band current measuring amplifier by August 5, 2026. NIST's Biophysical and Biomedical Measurement Group is conducting market research to identify alternative vendors capable of supplying a 4-channel low-noise, high bandwidth current measurement platform for single molecule biodosimetry research. The system must support 1 MHz simultaneous data acquisition on all four channels, full compatibility with quartz nanopipette and membrane-based nanopores, and integration with existing Chimera VC100 measurement systems and NIST software workflows. The turn-key system must include a measurement head stage, Faraday cage, digital acquisition unit, and software. Chimera Instruments LLC is currently identified as the potential sole source vendor, though NIST remains open to competing sources. Interested vendors must submit responses by August 5, 2026, via email in Word, PDF, or Excel format. Responses should include company summary information (name, address, UEI, SAM.gov registration status, and small business size standard relative to NAICS 334515), feedback on draft requirements, product specifications with manufacturer details and country of origin, commercial pricing and terms, compliance capability with FAR Clause 52.219-14, and information on existing federal contract vehicles such as GSA Multiple Award Schedule contracts. This notice does not obligate NIST to award a contract; responses do not constitute adequate submissions for any subsequent formal solicitation.
