EBIC System Installation and Commissioning

The contract mandates the on-site installation, calibration, and commissioning of an EBIC system within the AFIT Cleanroom lab at Wright-Patterson AFB, with full integration into the existing scanning electron microscope infrastructure. All work must be performed in accordance with strict cleanroom protocols to ensure system performance and environmental compliance, and the successful bidder is responsible for ensuring seamless interoperability between the EBIC system and the SEM hardware and software. The project requires technical expertise in electron beam instrumentation, precision calibration procedures, and system validation to meet operational readiness standards. This is a total small business set-aside under the NAICS code 238990, restricted to small business concerns as defined by the SBA, and is issued as a subcontract under the Department of Defense through FA8601 Aflcmc Pzio. Proposals must be submitted by June 25, 2026, with performance expected to occur exclusively at the designated facility at Wright-Patterson AFB. The contracting activity emphasizes compliance with federal acquisition regulations and demands proven experience in similar high-precision laboratory installations, particularly within defense or aerospace research environments.
