The Department of Commerce, National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), is soliciting a Cryogenic Nano Positioner system under solicitation number NB686000-26-01956, with responses due by June 25, 2026. The requirement, under NAICS code 334516, is for the procurement of precision instrumentation to support superconducting device research, specifically for pi-ground state Josephson junction studies and electrical performance testing of superconducting digital logic circuits. The system includes eight X-axis nanopositioners, two Z-axis nanopositioners, additional Z-axis positioners, necessary adapters to form four complete XYZ stacks, two control and readout units, two preamplifiers/drivers, and scanning stages for X and Z axes. All items must be new, fully compliant with original manufacturer specifications, and cannot include used, remanufactured, prototype, experimental, custom, or gray market components. The equipment must operate reliably at temperatures below 4 Kelvin and vacuum pressures below 1x10^-8 Torr, constructed entirely from nonmagnetic materials, and shipped in original manufacturer packaging with all associated software and documentation. Delivery is F.O.B. Destination to NIST’s Boulder, Colorado facility at 325 Broadway, with the contractor responsible for all shipping costs, damages, and losses prior to receipt. Awardees must coordinate any shipment with NIST’s designated officials due to restricted site access. Installation, training, and a minimum one-year warranty commencing upon government acceptance are required, covering all parts and labor. Payment is strictly Net 30 days after full system acceptance, with no advance payments permitted. Invoicing is only allowed in full upon successful delivery, installation, testing, and verification that the system meets all technical requirements, with partial shipments and invoices strictly prohibited without prior Contracting Officer approval. Acceptance is subject to government inspection within 15 working days of receipt, including visual and performance evaluations, with the government retaining rights to reject nonconforming items, request repairs or replacements at no cost, and hold the vendor liable for latent defects prorated over the equipment's useful life. Ownership transfers to NIST only upon official acceptance.
