About this forecast
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is forecasting a new requirement for the development of a Magnetic Force Microscopy (MFM) probe designed to enable sub-diffraction limited spatial resolution while simultaneously conducting optical and magnetic surface measurements. This innovative technology will facilitate the co-location of optical and magnetic probes to ascertain critical information regarding magnetic domain boundaries and defects on surfaces. The estimated solicitation release date is February 14, 2026, with an anticipated award date of May 14, 2026.
The forecasted contract award value ranges from $251,000 to $500,000 under the Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences NAICS category (541715). The work will be performed in Gaithersburg, Maryland, and the contracting opportunity will be competed. For additional information and inquiries regarding this procurement, interested parties should contact Min Jeong Ra at minjeong.ra@nist.gov at NIST's Office of the Associate Director for Laboratory Programs.
