The solicitation is issued using simplified acquisition procedures under the authority of FAR Part 13. THIS ANNOUNCEMENT CONSTITUTES THE ONLY SOLICITATION. QUOTATIONS ARE BEING REQUESTED AND A WRITTEN SOLICITATION DOCUMENT (i.e. STANDARD FORM) WILL NOT BE ISSUED. This solicitation is a Request for Quotation (RFQ).

The small business size standard is 1,000 employees. This acquisition is 100% set aside for small businesses. DESCRIPTION OF REQUIREMENTS Background The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Engineering Laboratory Materials and Structural Systems Division (MSSD) requires an instrumented micro indenter. The instrumented indenter must have the capability of measuring both the hardness of a material and elastic modulus. In addition to the traditional method of using an optical microscope to measure the size of the indent to calculate hardness, the indenter must measure load versus displacement, which can be used to calculate the elastic modulus. The other required feature is that with a motorized x-y stage, the indentation process is automated so that high through put experimentation is available for either an array of samples or multiple measurements on a single sample that has different properties as a function of distance. This indenter must be able to be used with various materials including ceramics, concrete, metals, and polymers. Objectives The scope of this procurement is the provision of one (1) micro indentation tester, one (1) module for acoustic sensing and one (1) module for micro friction sensor, meeting the minimum specifications in the Statement of Requirements, inclusive of FOB Destination delivery, installation, and warranty.

Building 215 Clean Room HEPA Filter Replacement
Solicitation # RFI-195000-26-00181
The National Institute of Standards and Technology is conducting market research through a Request for Information for the Building 215 Advanced Measurement Laboratory cleanroom repair and HEPA filter replacement project in Gaithersburg, Maryland. This initiative follows a previous solicitation that failed to produce an acceptable offer, prompting NIST to reassess its acquisition strategy and seek industry feedback on constructability, cost, and schedule feasibility. The project scope involves the modernization of an 1,800 square meter facility, including the replacement of approximately 1,200 HEPA filters, 70 VAV terminal units, and 54 airflow monitoring devices, as well as the installation of 32 exhaust air control valves and associated ductwork repairs, testing, and recertification. A critical component of the project is the proposed phasing plan, which aims to minimize research disruptions by utilizing 19 construction phases, including 18 critical cleanroom outage phases. Each critical outage is currently envisioned as a nine-day window starting Friday evening and requiring 24/7 operations to achieve ready-for-re-occupancy by the following Monday morning. NIST is specifically requesting rough-order-of-magnitude cost estimates and industry input on whether this aggressive outage schedule is realistic or if it creates prohibitive risks and costs. Responses, including company experience and recommendations for improving competition and project execution, are due by October 14, 2026.
