THIS ANNOUNCEMENT CONSTITUTES THE ONLY SOLICITATION; QUOTATIONS ARE BEING REQUESTED, AND A WRITTEN SOLICITATION DOCUMENT WILL NOT BE ISSUED. This solicitation is being issued using Simplified Acquisition Procedures under the authority of 13.5 Test Program for Certain Commercial Items. This solicitation is a Request for Quotation (RFQ). The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 2005-40, Effective 22 Apr 2010 and class deviation 2009-O0009. The associated North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code for this procurement is 238990 with a small business size standard of $14.0. However this requirement is unrestricted and all interested Contractors may submit a quote. The National Institute of Standards and Technology is seeking to purchase a Radiant Cooling System. This requirement is partially a BRAND NAME or EQUAL requirement. Brand name or equal description is intended to be descriptive, but not restrictive and is to indicate the quality and characteristics of products that will be considered satisfactory to meet the agency's needs. This Brand Name or Equal Requirement shall meet the parameters of: 1. CLIC / Strutcatcher system by AIMS fasteners and fittings for the Hangers. 2. Kirsch Architrac 94003 Series for hand drawn operation, complete with carriers, end caps, mounting brackets, wands, etc All interested Contractors shall provide a quote for the following: LINE ITEM 0001: Quantity One (1 EA) the Contractor shall provide and deliver a Radiant Cooling System which includes: Design, Furnish, Installation, and Standard warranty. STATEMENT OF WORK: RADIANT PANEL TEMPERATURE CONTROL SYSTEM Building 216 - Room G115 BACKGROUND: The Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology (CNST) at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is a new organization that, as part of its operations, maintains a shared use facility for measurements to support the development of nanotechnology. In addition to a fully equipped nanofabrication laboratory, the center includes a number of state-of-the-art analytical tools. The Center also has an active research program in various areas of nanotechnology and develops instrumentation beyond the state-of-the-art in support of those activities. The Center has recently acquired two state-of-the-art transmission electron microscopes (TEMs) that will enable us to support both the user facility and research program. We are currently in the process of constructing a dedicated microscope suite to house these instruments. In order to obtain the optimum performance from these instruments, very stringent control of the room environment around each microscope is required: temperature, humidity, air-flow, acoustic vibrations, electrical and magnetic fields must all be maintained within tight tolerances. We seek a ceiling-mounted radiant cooling panel system to provide the necessary temperature control inside the microscope suite. The system should be capable of meeting the temperature control requirements specified in this document without adversely affecting the acoustic, air-flow, electrical and magnetic field levels in the rooms. The Contractor shall be responsible for the design, fabrication and installation of the system. SUMMARY: Items to be designed, furnished and installed include; a multi zone ceiling mounted radiant cooling system, complete with its dedicated water-cooled chillers, radiant cooling panels and hanging support devices, piping controls and accessories. The end result shall be a turnkey system where the supplier is responsible for the design, procurement and fabrication of the entire system, its parts and components and field installation, startup and commissioning. Interested parties are encouraged to inspect the site before submitting proposals (See Site Visit). ATTACHMENTS: 1. Execution specifications 1. Background Drawings: i. Drawing 3046-RC1: Reflected ceiling plan (See Attachment 2). ii. Drawing 3046-RC2: Space & tool layout, (noting zoning requirements and equipment heat rejection to space). See Attachment 3. Notes: 1) The above drawings are provided for reference only. The supplier shall provide shop drawings detailing radiant cooling system layout and design, allowing the incorporation of such features as fire sprinkler heads and lights.

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.
