Supply of Single-Crystal CVD Diamond Substrates

The contract entails the supply of high-purity, single-crystal chemical vapor deposition diamond substrates measuring 10 mm by 10 mm with a thickness of approximately 100 micrometers, specifically engineered for use in nanoscale grating fabrication. These substrates must exhibit exceptionally low defect density and optical flatness to meet the stringent requirements of advanced microfabrication applications, ensuring consistent performance in precision optical and electronic devices. The deliverables are critical to supporting research and development activities requiring material properties that only high-quality diamond can provide. The solicitation, issued by SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory under the U.S. Department of Energy, is classified as a subcontract and was posted on August 3, 2026, with a response deadline of August 13, 2026. The North American Industry Classification System code 325998 is associated with this procurement, indicating it falls under other chemical product and preparation manufacturing. The place of performance is designated as Menlo Park, California, with a zip code of 94025. This effort supports federal scientific infrastructure and requires strict adherence to technical specifications, though no set-aside provisions or point of contact details are specified in the provided data.
