About this opportunity
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) issued a combined sources-sought and notice of intent to sole source a Magnicon MFFT-1 Noise Thermometer System, with responses due August 6, 2026. NIST has not committed to any acquisition strategy and reserves the right to conduct competitive procurement if alternative capable sources are identified. The requirement is for one complete unit including SEL-1/1 SQUID electronics module, DAQBox 16-bit data acquisition system, two CC-1/1 cryocables with DN25KF flanges, one MFFT-1 sensor module, FOB Destination delivery, warranty, and accessories. The noise thermometer must derive temperature from magnetic field fluctuations in pure metal with operating range 0.001 K to 4.2 K, linear range 0.01 K to 1 K, maximum temperature resolution of 1 percent in 30 seconds, maximum power dissipation of 200 pW, and SI-traceable manufacturer calibration with user calibration capability via liquid helium immersion. The system requires magnetically screened copper sensor packaging, Windows-compatible software, and electrostatically shielded cryogenic cable with DN25FK vacuum feedthrough. NIST solicits voluntary responses including company information, product specifications and pricing, feedback on draft requirements including domestic manufacturing considerations, small business subcontracting compliance information, and data on existing governmentwide contract vehicles. Respondents will not be compensated for submitted information.
