About this opportunity

The National Institute of Standards and Technology seeks to procure an X-ray Diffractometer System through Solicitation number 1333ND23QNB680226. NIST requires the system to replace aging equipment at its Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology. Quotations are due no later than May 18, 2023 and will be evaluated based on technical capability, past performance, and price, with technical factors combined being more important than price. The successful offeror must demonstrate the proposed system meets requirements and provide past performance references.

There is no set-aside designation for this procurement. The NAICS code is 334516, Scientific Instrument Manufacturing, and the PSC code was not specified. The procurement is seeking a single X-ray Diffractometer System to be delivered within 52 weeks of award and installed within 60 weeks at the NIST facility in Boulder, Colorado. The government estimates the value between $500,000-$1,000,000 based on similar prior procurements. The solicitation also provides options for maintenance, trade-in of existing equipment, and additional optics that can be procured within one year of award.
