Notice of Intent to Sole Source Wirebond Pull TesterThe National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) plans to award a sole-source firm-fixed-price purchase order to K&R Next Generation Bonding Inc. for a West Bond 70PTE Wire Pull Tester, “E” Series, equipped with an A-1 Tweezer Feature, due to the manufacturer’s discontinuation and the exclusive authorization of this vendor to supply new original equipment. The instrument must meet precise technical specifications including a binocular microscope with 10x eyepieces, twin-array LED illumination, a z-tool range of at least 9/16 inch, z-encoder resolution of 0.002 inch, a test force range of at least 100 grams, force resolution of 0.1 gram or better, force accuracy within ±0.2 gram, ESD protection, and a single-lever dual-counterbalanced micromanipulator with an 8:1 motion-reduction ratio, all while providing a one-year parts warranty. This system is critical for the NIST Quantum Sensors Division’s work on NASA’s Athena X-ray astronomy mission, where precise measurement and controlled removal of wirebonds on flight hardware are required. The decision for sole sourcing is driven by the necessity to maintain compatibility with NIST’s existing fleet of six West Bond wirebonders and diebonders, which share identical optical, mechanical, and electronic components, including the same micromanipulator, stage, control electronics, and tweezer attachments. The division’s 35 current operators are already extensively trained on West Bond systems, and super-users possess proprietary repair knowledge and an established inventory of compatible spare parts. The new tester will be deployed in the commissioning flight lab and is expected to be operated by six to eight current users, eliminating the need for retraining and ensuring seamless integration into existing workflows. West Bond ceased operations at the end of 2025, and K&R Next Generation Bonding Inc. is the sole authorized distributor of new, original West Bond equipment, making it the only viable source for this specific model. The acquisition is governed under FAR Subpart 6.302-1, with a response deadline of August 6, 2026, and an anticipated award on or before August 28, 2026.
