About this opportunity
The National Institute of Standards and Technology seeks quotations for vacuum-compatible precision rotation and tilt stages for neutron beamlines, with proposals due July 17 following Amendment 0001, which extended the original July 15 deadline and provides vendor Q&A clarifications. This is a total small business set-aside under NAICS 334516 (optical instrument and lens manufacturing), with a 1,000-employee size standard.
Place of performance is Gaithersburg, Maryland. The procurement calls for four precision motorized stages total: two identical vacuum-compatible precision rotation stages, two identical vacuum-compatible precision tilt stages, four vacuum-compatible cables, four non-vacuum cables, and shipping and handling. All stages must be rated for 1×10⁶ Torr or lower vacuum operation, constructed of aluminum alloy, and include pre-installed double-shafted 2-phase stepper motors. Full-step resolution must be less than 0.01 degrees (a firm requirement; NIST will use microstepping for smaller increments). Working distance or center of rotation must be 65 millimeters or greater, with larger values accommodable through precision spacers but smaller values not acceptable. Cable length must be greater than or equal to 12 inches. Connectors must be vacuum-compatible. Dual-shaft motors are required to enable independent stage movement without power and to accommodate potential future encoder additions. Custom products are acceptable. Delivery is F.O.B. Destination within four months, with inspection and acceptance at NIST's Gaithersburg facility. Payment is 100% upon installation, acceptance, successful testing completion, and proper invoice submission under Net 30-day terms. Award will be made to the lowest-priced, technically acceptable offeror. Quotations must include technical capability documentation, detailed pricing, and acceptance or exceptions to terms and conditions in three separate volumes.
