About this opportunity
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is soliciting quotations for a Superconducting Nanowire Single Photon Detector (SNSPD) system through an unrestricted competitive procurement. The solicitation requires a highly specialized scientific instrument with specific technical parameters, including four single mode fiber-coupled detectors capable of operating at 2.5 K and 800 mK, with system detection efficiency over 80% across multiple wavelength ranges. Quotations are due by 11:00 AM Eastern Time on April 18, 2025, and must be submitted electronically to the designated contract specialist. The evaluation will focus on three primary factors: Technical Capability, Prior Demonstrated Experience, and Price, with non-price factors being more heavily weighted in the selection process. Vendors must submit four distinct volumes covering technical specifications, demonstrated experience, pricing, and terms and conditions.
The procurement is classified under NAICS category 334516 for Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing, with a small business size standard of 1,000 employees. No specific set-aside has been designated for this opportunity, making it open to all qualified vendors. The single SNSPD system will be delivered to NIST's facility in Gaithersburg, MD, with the place of acceptance located at 325 Broadway Street in Boulder, CO. The contract will be awarded as a firm-fixed-price purchase order, with payment contingent upon installation, acceptance, and successful performance testing. A minimum one-year warranty is required, and delivery is expected within the manufacturer's standard commercial lead time. NIST will conduct inspection and acceptance within 10 business days of receipt, reserving the right to perform quality assurance testing to verify the system meets all specified performance specifications.
