The U.S. Department of Commerce’s National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has issued a sources-sought notice for the procurement of a single Cesium beam atomic clock to support the ensemble time scale that generates UTC(NIST). The solicitation, identified as NB688000-26-01590, was posted on June 2, 2026, with responses due by June 12, 2026. The equipment must meet stringent technical performance criteria, including short-term stability of no worse than 1e-11 Allan Deviation at 1 second and long-term stability of no worse than 1e-14 for averaging intervals exceeding 10 days. The clock must provide nominal 5 MHz and 10 MHz output signals at least 1 Vrms into a 50 ohm load, a pulse-per-second signal exceeding 1.5 V amplitude, and support digital interfaces such as RS232 or Ethernet. It must operate on standard 120V or 208V AC power at 60 Hz with a 24V DC auxiliary input and include a minimum 30-minute battery backup. The device must be EIA-compliant with a width under 482.6 mm, operate within a temperature range of 15°C to 45°C, and exhibit magnetic field sensitivity below 4e-14 per Gauss. The sole item to be delivered is the atomic clock, with no pricing details specified as this is a market research notice, not a competitive solicitation. Delivery, installation, and training must be completed within 18 weeks after award, with performance required in Boulder, Colorado. The government will conduct a 7-day acceptance test upon delivery, though location and quality standards for inspection are not detailed. The primary point of contact is De Ionne Jones at NIST in Gaithersburg, Maryland, and while the solicitation references a Combined Synopsis/Solicitation RFQ and a Statement of Requirements, no formal contract clauses, evaluation factors, special requirements, or submission instructions are provided beyond the technical specifications.

Solicitation for Gas Abatement System
Solicitation # 1333ND26QNB030563
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is soliciting firm-fixed-price quotations for a gas abatement system to be installed at its Gaithersburg, Maryland campus. The system will support the Materials Measurement Laboratory by safely abating hazardous exhaust from plasma etch processes used in semiconductor device fabrication. The required equipment must feature a dry bed absorber/scrubber in an enclosed cabinet with control readouts and an endpoint detector. Technical specifications require the system to abate a specific gas matrix, including various fluorinated gases and noble gases, while ensuring hazardous gas concentrations at the outlet remain within threshold limit values and flammable gases stay below the lower explosive limit. The absorber canister must have a minimum lifetime of one year based on specified flow rates and process hours. This acquisition is a 100 percent small business set-aside under NAICS code 333242. Award will be made to the lowest priced, technically acceptable quoter, with technical capability rated as either acceptable or unacceptable based on whether the proposed equipment meets or exceeds all minimum requirements.
