The U.S. Department of Commerce, National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), is seeking information from industry regarding the availability of suppliers capable of providing a Superconducting Qubit Control System for its Boulder, Colorado facility. This Notice, identified as NB6760102602010, is a market research solicitation and not a solicitation for proposals or a commitment to award a contract. NIST requires a system capable of generating shaped microwave signals in the 4–6 GHz range with at least 12-bit resolution and the ability to digitize down-converted readout signals for active feedback control, aligning with the Product Service Code 6625 and NAICS Code 334515 for instrument manufacturing. Responses must be submitted by July 20, 2026, to lia.arthofer@nist.gov in Microsoft Word or PDF format, limited to ten pages excluding the cover page and standard commercial pricing information, and must not include any proprietary, classified, or sensitive data. Respondents are required to provide detailed information including company identification, Unique Entity ID, size certification under NAICS 334515, SAM.gov registration status, and whether they qualify as a small business capable of complying with FAR clause 52.219-14 on subcontracting limitations. NIST also invites suggestions to improve the draft specifications to enhance competition, recommendations for potential evaluation factors, and standard commercial pricing documentation to aid in market price estimation. Companies participating as part of a team must submit the same information for all entities involved. While NIST will review submissions to inform its future acquisition strategy, it will not compensate respondents or guarantee feedback. Participation is voluntary, and all submitted information may be used for any lawful purpose, including the potential development and publication of a formal solicitation on SAM.gov or GSA eBuy after thorough market analysis.

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.
