AI Contract Overview

The National Institute of Standards and Technology’s Electromagnetic Technology Division plans to acquire two Sprite stage automation systems from Advanced Microscopy Techniques Corp to retrofit onto two older JEOL scanning electron microscopes used for imaging and electron beam lithography. Since JEOL does not offer upgrades or retrofits for stage control on these microscopes, market research showed that Advanced Microscopy Techniques Corp is the only provider recommended by JEOL for such requirements. Furthermore, the retrofit systems must be compatible with ETD’s existing Nanometer Pattern Generation System, with no other known retrofit solutions successfully interfacing with this technology. This procurement is a sole source acquisition conducted as a small purchase under the authority of FAR Part 12 for commercial items, with a not-to-exceed value of $100,000. No solicitation is available, and responses to this notice will only be used to determine if a competitive acquisition would benefit the government. Interested parties may submit written responses to the designated purchasing agent at NOAA. The contract supports the retrofit of critical microscopy equipment to enhance research capabilities within the agency.

Full Description

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Electromagnetic Technology Division (ETD) proposes to negotiate on a sole source basis with the Advanced Microscopy Techniques Corp., 3 Electronics Ave., Danvers, MA for a quantity of two (2) Sprite stage automation systems. The purpose of the acquisition is to retrofit stepper motor stage automation systems onto two older scanning electron microscopes (SEM), a JEOL Model 6400 and a JEOL Model 848, that are used for both imaging and electron beam lithography. JEOL does not provide retrofits or upgrades on the stage control on its microscopes. Market research found that JEOL refers customers to Advanced Microscopy Techniques Corp for these requirements. Compatibility with ETD's existing electron beam lithography system is also required. Market research could find no other retrofit stage automation that has been successfully interfaced with the Nanometer Pattern Generation System (NPGS) manufactured by JC Nabity Lithography Systems. No solicitation is available. This small purchase (NTE $100K) is being conducted under the authority of FAR Part 12, Commercial Items. Responses to this Notice will be evaluated solely to determine if a competitive acquisition procedure would be in the best interests of the Government. Written responses to this Notice should be directed to the attention of Michelle Sandoval, Purchasing Agent, via e-mail (contact@example.gov) or fax +1 (555) 000-0000.
