Combined Sources Sought Notice and Notice of Intent to Award a Sole Source Contract for Mid-Wave Infrared Distributed Feedback Laser Systems

Solicitation # NIST-SS26-CHIPS-172

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is conducting market research to evaluate potential sources for Mid-Wave Infrared Distributed Feedback (DFB) laser systems critical to its Chemical Sciences Division’s precision spectroscopic and chemical measurement research. The requirement specifies two integrated laser systems: one operating at 2700 nm ± 10 nm and another at 3000 nm ± 10 nm, each requiring a DFB laser diode, thermoelectric cooler, NTC thermistor, anti-reflection coated window, lens cap compatibility, heatsink, and appropriate electronic and optical connectors. NIST has identified Nanoplus America, Inc. as a potential supplier but explicitly states that this does not commit to a sole-source award; the government is actively seeking alternative sources capable of meeting the technical specifications to allow for competitive procurement if viable options exist. Responses must be submitted by August 10, 2026, and should include company details, compliance with SAM.gov registration, size status under NAICS code 334516, product specifications, origin, and pricing, as well as assessments on whether offerings qualify as commercial products or COTS items and commercial services under FAR definitions. Respondents are expected to provide comprehensive information on their ability to meet or exceed the stated requirements, including standard commercial pricing, terms and conditions, warranty details, and supply chain compliance with federal acquisition regulations such as FAR Clause 52.219-14 on subcontracting limitations. NIST is particularly interested in feedback that improves clarity, promotes competition, and supports domestic manufacturing under “Made in America” principles. While this notice seeks voluntary input to inform future acquisition decisions, no obligation is created for NIST to award a contract or compensate respondents. Responses must be submitted via email in specified formats without proprietary or classified content, and failure to provide complete, detailed information may result in exclusion from consideration. NIST intends to use all received data to refine requirements and determine whether a competitive solicitation will be issued on SAM.gov or eBuy, with any subsequent procurement requiring a separate, formal response.

The system must support direct nanoscale impedance measurements and preserve all current workflows tied to the Vero AFM’s customized holder and instrumentation. NIST is not committed to a sole source procurement with Primenano, Inc., and is actively exploring competition if capable alternatives exist; the acquisition strategy remains undetermined pending market feedback. Respondents are requested to provide detailed information including company profiles, product specifications, manufacturing origins, commercial pricing, warranty terms, and compliance with federal regulations such as the FAR clause on subcontracting limitations. Responses must indicate whether the product qualifies as a commercial item or COTS and include standard commercial terms and conditions. NIST is particularly interested in input on whether the requirements could be refined to encourage domestic manufacturing and broader competition. All submissions must be received by August 12, 2026, and should not include proprietary or classified information. This notice is purely for market research and does not obligate NIST to award a contract or compensate respondents. Information gathered will inform the development of a potential future solicitation that may be posted on SAM.gov or eBuy, and responses to this notice do not substitute for formal bid submissions.
