The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is conducting market research to identify capable vendors for the procurement of a single 145 GHz photodiode, as outlined in attached technical specifications. This sources sought notice is not a solicitation or request for quotation and does not obligate the government to award a contract; it is solely intended to gather information on potential suppliers, assess market capability, and determine if a small business set-aside is feasible. NIST is seeking responses from all responsible sources, including small businesses, small disadvantaged businesses, women-owned small businesses, HUBZone firms, service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, and veteran-owned small businesses, as well as large businesses. The requirement falls under NAICS code 334413, with a small business size standard of 1,250 employees. Responses must be submitted electronically and are limited to five pages, including company profile details, entity identifiers, manufacturing origin information, product specification compliance, typical delivery and installation timelines, verification of small business status, and any additional relevant information. NIST will use the submissions to evaluate whether at least two qualified small businesses can meet the technical requirements, which could lead to a competitive small business set-aside procurement on SAM.gov. The agency will not compensate respondents for their submission, and marketing materials or sales brochures will not be considered. The response deadline is July 16, 2026, and submissions must include the company name providing the product, the entity responsible for manufacturing, the country of origin, and documented evidence that the product meets the specified 145 GHz photodiode requirements. All responses should be directed to Clifford Nicholson at NIST via the provided contact details, and information gathered will assist in finalizing the acquisition strategy, including potential solicitation issuance and contract award methodology.

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.
