The U.S. Department of Commerce, National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), located in Gaithersburg, Maryland, has issued a sources-sought notice under solicitation number NB688000-26-01761 for a High Accuracy Laser Wavelength Meter. The notice was posted on June 23, 2026, with responses due by June 29, 2026, and is classified under NAICS code 334519, indicating a focus on other measuring and inspecting equipment manufacturing. The primary point of contact for inquiries is Matthew Delgado, reachable via email at matthew.delgado@nist.gov. The intended place of performance is in Colorado, with a ZIP code of 80305, though specific delivery or performance timelines are not outlined. This solicitation is intended to gather market information to determine the availability of commercial items that meet NIST’s technical requirements for a high-accuracy laser wavelength meter, and no formal contract, price estimates, or detailed specifications have been published at this stage. While the notice identifies the agency, contact, and general technical scope, nearly all standard Federal Acquisition Regulation sections—including those covering deliverables, evaluation criteria, contract clauses, representations, packaging, inspection, and submission instructions—are absent from the available documentation, indicating this is a preliminary market research effort rather than a formal request for proposals.
