The National Institute of Standards and Technology, under the Department of Commerce, issued solicitation NB686090-19-02965 for the procurement of a non-contact, two-port mm-wave probe station. This equipment is intended for the Quantitative Nanostructure Characterization group in Boulder, Colorado, to perform on-wafer device measurements within a frequency range of approximately 100 GHz to 1.0 THz. The procurement falls under NAICS code 334413 and was managed by Contracting Officer MeeLondrell Lumpkin. Although the agency initially sought information on capable vendors, a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition was established to negotiate exclusively with TeraProbes, Inc. This decision was based on the determination that TeraProbes, Inc. is the sole provider of a non-contact system compatible with the specific equipment supplied by NIST, qualifying the purchase for a sole-source award under statutory authority 41 USC 3304(a)(1).

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.
