The BMF Lesker Tool Upgrade project, managed by the Department of Commerce under the AD for Laboratory Programs, focuses on replacing end-of-life electronics in six Lesker deposition and sputter tools. Because the current electronics are irreparable, the project involves upgrading programmable logic controllers to extend the operational lifetime of the equipment by more than ten years. This upgrade is critical to prevent disruptions to several high-priority projects, including Volt, SQUID, and TES. This opportunity is listed as a forecast and is designated as a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 333242. The work will be performed in Boulder, Colorado. Interested parties may contact Vanessa Velisek for further information regarding this procurement.
