Control Software and Instrument Interface Development

The contract entails the development of advanced control software designed to synchronize critical experimental parameters including heating, gas flow, biasing, and data acquisition within a specialized instrumentation environment. The software must provide a comprehensive user interface for real-time monitoring and control, along with automated logging capabilities to ensure traceability and data integrity throughout experimental runs. This effort supports high-precision research operations and requires seamless integration with existing hardware systems to maintain accuracy, repeatability, and operational efficiency under demanding experimental conditions. The work is to be performed at the designated location in Lemont, Illinois, with a firm deadline for proposals on August 14, 2026. This opportunity is structured as a subcontract under the NAICS code 541512 for computer systems design services and is issued by Argonne National Laboratory, a Department of Energy contractor. The solicitation was posted on August 3, 2026, and no set-aside provisions apply. Offerors must demonstrate technical expertise in embedded control systems, real-time data processing, and human-machine interface design, as well as experience working within federal research or energy-sector laboratories. Proposals must align with the technical objectives and performance requirements specified in the full solicitation document accessible via the provided UI link, ensuring compliance with the lab’s operational standards and data management protocols.
