Combined Sources Sought Notice and Notice of Intent to Award a Sole Source Contract for Voltage Dividers with Buffer Amplifiers and SwitchThe National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is seeking information from potential vendors to assess market availability and competition for five specific technical items: three precision resistive voltage dividers with a 0.001 ratio for 500V, three with a 0.003 ratio for 330V, three with a 0.006 ratio for 166V, three precision buffer amplifiers, and one computer-controlled switch. Each voltage divider must meet precise electrical specifications including input resistance, frequency range, ac-dc transfer difference, and phase error, and must be delivered with connecting cables, calibration certificates, and manuals. The buffer amplifiers must handle up to 5 Vrms with specific impedance and ac-dc accuracy requirements across frequencies up to 100 kHz and include both AC power and external DC battery inputs. The switch must be a double pole double throw unit with remote and manual control, LED status indication, USB connectivity, fast switching under 5 ms, and low on-resistance repeatability, accompanied by LabView drivers. NIST has not yet decided on its acquisition approach and is conducting market research to determine whether sufficient capable and interested commercial sources exist beyond a currently referenced entity, making this a pre-solicitation effort to evaluate competition. Respondents are asked to voluntarily submit detailed information including company profiles, SAM.gov registration status, NAICS code compliance, product specifications and origins, and whether items meet definitions of commercial or COTS products and services. Pricing data, standard commercial terms, warranty details, and supply chain compliance with FAR Clause 52.219-14 are requested along with any suggestions to enhance clarity, competitiveness, and domestic content. NIST is also seeking to learn if vendors hold federal contract vehicles such as GSA MAS that could be used for potential award. All responses must be provided by the August 4, 2026 deadline in specified formats and must exclude proprietary or classified information. Participation does not guarantee a contract award, and NIST retains the right to use all submitted data to inform final requirements or acquisition strategy, which may include issuing a public solicitation on SAM.gov or eBuy if competition is viable. No obligation exists to respond to this notice, and no feedback or acknowledgment will be provided to submitters.

4 Kelvin Closed Cycle CryostatThe National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), through the Department of Commerce, is conducting market research to identify qualified vendors capable of supplying a 4 Kelvin Closed Cycle Cryostat for use in the characterization of superconducting devices and circuits by the Spin Electronics Group within the Physical Measurement Laboratory. This effort is formally categorized as a Sources Sought announcement, not a solicitation for quotes or proposals, and is intended solely to gather information on available commercial capabilities, manufacturing origins, and delivery timelines to inform future procurement decisions. The required cryostat must achieve a base temperature below 3 K, provide over 1.5 watts of cooling power at 4.5 K, and feature a sample space of at least 250 mm in diameter and 225 mm in height, with peak-to-peak temperature variations less than 50 mK and cool-down/warm-up times under two hours. All necessary cooling hardware, thermometry, heaters, and temperature controllers must be included. Additionally, a separately priced option is sought for a 1 Tesla split coil magnet with a bore greater than 110 mm, superconducting high-current leads, and appropriate vacuum feedthroughs. Responses must include the company name providing and manufacturing the product, the country of origin, technical specifications, typical lead time after order receipt, and supporting documentation, all limited to four pages and submitted electronically to Angela Hitt at angela.hitt@nist.gov by the deadline of June 26, 2026. The government is particularly interested in identifying U.S.-based manufacturers and will consider all small business set-aside categories, but no contract award is guaranteed. If a future procurement is initiated, delivery of the system, including installation and training, must be completed no later than 12 months after receipt of order, and all items must be shipped in original manufacturer packaging. Warranty requirements specify a minimum one-year manufacturer warranty, and travel costs, if required, must be separately itemized and reimbursed under the Federal Travel Regulation.
