UNC-CH_LEGEND_RFP_2026The Department of Physics and Astronomy at UNC-Chapel Hill is seeking quotations for the final design and budgetary or proof-of-concept development of five custom nitrogen-purged gloveboxes to support the LEGEND project, a large-scale experiment focused on neutrinoless double-beta decay using enriched germanium. These gloveboxes must be engineered to maintain ultra-high purity environments to prevent contamination of sensitive detector components, requiring precise control over moisture and oxygen levels, and must meet stringent protocols for material compatibility, leak-tight integrity, and long-term operational reliability under experimental conditions. The solicitation calls for detailed proposals that outline technical specifications, construction materials, purging methodologies, and cost estimates to establish feasibility before full-scale fabrication. Interested vendors must submit responses by the deadline of August 4, 2026, with all inquiries directed to Lynn Barello as the primary point of contact. The opportunity is open to qualified contractors without specific set-aside requirements and the work is anticipated to be performed at or delivered to facilities in North Carolina. Proposals should clearly demonstrate technical expertise in designing high-purity containment systems for scientific applications and include documentation of prior experience with similar projects involving radiation-safe or ultra-clean environments. The contract follows procurement procedures under the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and is publicly accessible through the state’s procurement portal.

4 Kelvin Closed Cycle CryostatThe National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), through the Department of Commerce, is conducting market research to identify qualified vendors capable of supplying a 4 Kelvin Closed Cycle Cryostat for use in the characterization of superconducting devices and circuits by the Spin Electronics Group within the Physical Measurement Laboratory. This effort is formally categorized as a Sources Sought announcement, not a solicitation for quotes or proposals, and is intended solely to gather information on available commercial capabilities, manufacturing origins, and delivery timelines to inform future procurement decisions. The required cryostat must achieve a base temperature below 3 K, provide over 1.5 watts of cooling power at 4.5 K, and feature a sample space of at least 250 mm in diameter and 225 mm in height, with peak-to-peak temperature variations less than 50 mK and cool-down/warm-up times under two hours. All necessary cooling hardware, thermometry, heaters, and temperature controllers must be included. Additionally, a separately priced option is sought for a 1 Tesla split coil magnet with a bore greater than 110 mm, superconducting high-current leads, and appropriate vacuum feedthroughs. Responses must include the company name providing and manufacturing the product, the country of origin, technical specifications, typical lead time after order receipt, and supporting documentation, all limited to four pages and submitted electronically to Angela Hitt at angela.hitt@nist.gov by the deadline of June 26, 2026. The government is particularly interested in identifying U.S.-based manufacturers and will consider all small business set-aside categories, but no contract award is guaranteed. If a future procurement is initiated, delivery of the system, including installation and training, must be completed no later than 12 months after receipt of order, and all items must be shipped in original manufacturer packaging. Warranty requirements specify a minimum one-year manufacturer warranty, and travel costs, if required, must be separately itemized and reimbursed under the Federal Travel Regulation. No quotes will be accepted or considered during this phase, and marketing materials are explicitly excluded from review.

There are no stipulated security, data rights, Section 508 compliance, or key personnel requirements, nor are there any options, extensions, or subcontracting plans indicated. The absence of CLINs, cost estimates, or contract value figures underscores that this document is non-binding and purely exploratory, aimed at validating market availability and technical feasibility before proceeding with a formal procurement. All performance and delivery obligations are tied to the designated location in Parlier, California
