Specialized Laboratory Equipment Parts Supply

The contract solicits the supply or fabrication of specialized, custom, obsolete, or proprietary replacement components for a substrate manipulator used in laboratory settings. These components may include mechanical arms, motorized stages, vacuum feedthroughs, and control modules, all of which must meet exacting technical specifications to ensure compatibility and functionality within existing, often legacy, systems. The work requires precise engineering expertise to replicate or reverse engineer parts that are no longer commercially available, emphasizing the need for high reliability and adherence to original design intent. This subcontract, issued by the Naval Research Laboratory under the Department of Defense, is classified under NAICS code 333992 and places performance at a location with a ZIP code of 20375. Responses are due by July 2, 2026, at 4:30 PM Eastern Time, with the opportunity posted on June 18, 2026. There is no set-aside designation, meaning all eligible contractors may compete. The nature of the components and the technical demands of the work imply that only vendors with documented experience in precision instrumentation, vacuum systems, or semiconductor handling equipment are likely to qualify. Timely delivery and proven capability in reproducing hard-to-source parts are critical to maintaining operational continuity for sensitive research activities.
