High-Performance Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FE-SEM) Supply and Integration

The contract entails the supply, delivery, installation, and commissioning of a Schottky Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope system designed for high-resolution imaging and advanced material analysis at the National Energy Technology Lab’s Coal Center of Excellence. The system is critical for detailed examination of coal-related materials and will support research initiatives aimed at improving energy efficiency, carbon capture, and material performance under extreme conditions. All components must meet stringent performance specifications to ensure optimal resolution, stability, and analytical precision, with the vendor responsible for full integration and operational verification at the designated facility. The opportunity is issued as a subcontract under the U.S. Department of Energy, with a North American Industry Classification System code of 334516, indicating specialization in laboratory analytical instrument manufacturing. Responses are due by August 5, 2026, following a posting date of July 28, 2026. While specific location details for performance or contact information are not provided, the work is expected to be conducted at NETL’s Coal Center of Excellence. The procurement is open to eligible subcontractors with demonstrated capability in delivering high-end electron microscopy systems, and successful bidders must ensure compliance with technical, logistical, and commissioning requirements as outlined in the solicitation.
