The U.S. Department of Commerce, National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), is seeking a small business to deliver, install, and commission a single Environmental Test Chamber (Model TJR-A-F4T) for use in the CHIPS Metrology program at its Gaithersburg, Maryland facility. The chamber must perform extreme thermal cycling between -65°C and 175°C, feature a stainless steel interior with a minimum volume of 34 liters, include Ethernet connectivity and process view software for data logging and email alerting, and be new, non-gray-market, and delivered in original manufacturer packaging. The contract is a combined solicitation under FAR Part 12, structured as a Firm Fixed Price purchase order with a Total Small Business Set-Aside, requiring offerors to self-certify as small businesses under NAICS code 334513 and maintain an active SAM.gov Unique Entity ID.
