NOTICE OF INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE TO QUINSTAR TECHNOLOGY, INC. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with QuinStar Technology 24085 Garinier St., Torrance, CA 90505-5319 using the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b) Soliciting From a Single Source, for the purchase of cryogenic microwave isolators and circulators that will be used to perform microwave measurement in superconducting quantum information experiments. The items will meet the following Technical Specs Cryogenic Isolators: Frequency: 3.0 - 12.0 GHz Min. Isolation: 14 dB Max. Insertion Loss: 1.1 dB Max. VSWR: 1.38:1 Operating Temp. 4.2 Kelvin Cryogenic Circulators: Frequency: 4.0 - 8.0 GHz Min. Isolation 36 dB Max. Insertion Loss: 1 dB Max VSWR: 1.28:1 Operating Temp. 4.2 Kelvin Based on market research, NIST has not identified any other sources that can provide the required product. If NIST identifies no other capable sources by December 18th, 2012, NIST will issue a firm-fixed price purchase order on or about December 19th to QuinStar Technology (a small business). Interested parties may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement, in writing, no later than the response date. Written responses to this synopsis shall contain sufficient documentation to establish a bona fide capability to fulfill the requirement. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 334419, and the small business size standard is 500 employees. A determination by the Government whether to compete the proposed requirement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.

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.
