AI Contract Overview

The Department of Commerce's National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is seeking proposals from qualified small businesses to build a specialized platform designed for nanoscale spintronic device research. This platform must integrate a variable magnetic field and temperature control system, including a magnet, Dewar, variable temperature cryostat, magnetic power supply, and temperature controller. All components are required to be computer-controllable, allowing for precise and reliable setting and monitoring of both magnetic field and temperature. The design must feature low vibration at the sample site and support either a cryogen-free or liquid-helium recondensing Dewar. Additionally, the system should accommodate a NIST-developed vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) or facilitate the integration of a commercial VSM add-on. The contract is a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 423490 and will be located in Boulder, Colorado. Proposals will be considered only from responsible small businesses, with large businesses excluded from consideration. The solicitation is tentatively scheduled for release on July 25, 2008, with proposals due by September 8, 2008, and awards anticipated in September 2008. Interested contractors must be registered in the Central Contractor Registry, complete the required online certifications, and possess a DUNS number. Contract details, specifications, and drawings will be electronically available through official federal websites, with no paper copies provided. The contracting office is based in Gaithersburg, Maryland, with Kathy L. Clark serving as the contract specialist.

SYNOPSIS/PRESOLICITATION NOTICE PROJECT TITLE: Variable Magnetic Field Variable Temperature Platform for Nanoscale Spintronic Device Research LOCATION OF WORK: 325 Broadway, Boulder, Boulder County, Colorado NAICS CODE: 423490, Other Professional Equipment and Supplies Merchant Wholesalers, Size Standard in number of employees 100 SET-ASIDE STATUS: Award is restricted to small business (or other specific category of small business as appropriate, for example, HUBZone). All responsible small businesses may submit a proposal which will be considered. Proposals from large business will not be considered. DESCRIPTION: The U.S. Department of Commerce, National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), seeks a qualified contractor to construct a variable-magnetic-field variable-temperature platform for nanoscale spintronics device research. The system should include an integrated magnet, Dewar, variable temperature cryostat, magnetic power supply, temperature controller, and all necessary to monitor and set the magnetic field and temperature. All components must be computer-controllable and the system must be able to demonstrate reliable setting of the magnetic field and temperature under computer control. The system must use either a cryogen free or a liquid-helium recondensing Dewar. The system needs to have low vibration at the sample location. The system needs to be able to accommodate a NIST-developed vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) or allow for a commercial VSM add on.
