Installation of gas delivery and exhaust systems

The Department of Commerce is forecasting a project for the installation of gas delivery and exhaust systems to be performed in Gaithersburg. The primary objective is to develop advanced measurement technology, reference data, and materials capable of performing trace impurity gas analysis with precision at sub-parts-per-billion levels. This initiative aims to enable next-generation diagnostics to identify impurities in process gases, which will support the development of industry-ready reference materials and point-of-use diagnostics essential for breakthroughs in critical tooling such as extreme ultra-violet lithography. The project will focus on enhancing quality systems by establishing a framework for impurity fingerprinting with traceability to new gas primary standards and documentary standards. This effort is categorized under NAICS code 334413 and is managed by the Department of Commerce, with coordination provided by Nathali Medina and the DOC Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization.
