The U.S. Department of Commerce, National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), is seeking information from industry providers regarding the availability and capabilities of suppliers to deliver Comb Stabilization Modules for use at its Boulder site. These modules are critical for stabilizing carrier-envelope offset frequencies in 1550 nm femtosecond frequency comb systems used in advanced applications such as electro-optic sampling, timing synchronization, and dual-comb waveform metrology. NIST is not issuing a solicitation or making any commitment at this stage; this notice is strictly for market research to evaluate vendor participation and determine the optimal acquisition path. The requested products fall under Product Service Code 6625 and NAICS Code 334515, which covers the manufacturing of instruments for measuring and testing electricity and electrical signals. Respondents must submit responses by July 20, 2026, to lia.arthofer@nist.gov in Microsoft Word or PDF format, limited to ten pages excluding cover pages and commercial pricing. Submissions must include company details, Unique Entity ID, SAM.gov registration status, validation of small business status under the specified NAICS code, and compliance with FAR clause 52.219-14 if applicable. Vendors are encouraged to suggest improvements to the draft requirements, propose evaluation factors for a future acquisition, and provide standard commercial pricing data to aid in fair market pricing estimation. Submissions must not include proprietary, classified, or sensitive information, nor should they contain formal proposals—only informational responses. Teaming arrangements are permitted but require full information from all participating entities. NIST retains full rights to use all submitted information for market research and future acquisition planning without obligation to provide feedback or compensation. Responses received after the deadline may not be considered, and no contract award is guaranteed based on this request.

Building 215 Clean Room HEPA Filter Replacement
Solicitation # RFI-195000-26-00181
The National Institute of Standards and Technology is conducting market research through a Request for Information for the Building 215 Advanced Measurement Laboratory cleanroom repair and HEPA filter replacement project in Gaithersburg, Maryland. This initiative follows a previous solicitation that failed to produce an acceptable offer, prompting NIST to reassess its acquisition strategy and seek industry feedback on constructability, cost, and schedule feasibility. The project scope involves the modernization of an 1,800 square meter facility, including the replacement of approximately 1,200 HEPA filters, 70 VAV terminal units, and 54 airflow monitoring devices, as well as the installation of 32 exhaust air control valves and associated ductwork repairs, testing, and recertification. A critical component of the project is the proposed phasing plan, which aims to minimize research disruptions by utilizing 19 construction phases, including 18 critical cleanroom outage phases. Each critical outage is currently envisioned as a nine-day window starting Friday evening and requiring 24/7 operations to achieve ready-for-re-occupancy by the following Monday morning. NIST is specifically requesting rough-order-of-magnitude cost estimates and industry input on whether this aggressive outage schedule is realistic or if it creates prohibitive risks and costs. Responses, including company experience and recommendations for improving competition and project execution, are due by October 14, 2026.
