About this forecast

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is forecasting a new requirement for a small dilution refrigerator system with magnet designed for transport measurements of superconducting tunnel junctions and topological materials. This equipment is essential to support NIST's research on sub-Kelvin primary thermometers as part of the NIST-on-a-Chip portfolio, which provides temperature traceability to the SI through metrology of the volt and ohm. The solicitation is estimated to be released on May 15, 2026, with an anticipated award date of August 15, 2026.

The estimated award value ranges from $501,000 to $1,000,000, and the contract will be performed at NIST's facility in Gaithersburg, Maryland. This is a competed procurement under NAICS code 541715 (Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences). Interested parties should contact Min Jeong Ra at minjeong.ra@nist.gov for additional information regarding this forecasted opportunity.
