ULTRA-HIGH VACUUM QUANTUM ELECTRON MICROSCOPE

The University of Wisconsin‑Madison’s Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering is seeking a single ultra‑high‑vacuum (UHV) electron microscope system that can operate in conjunction with ultra‑cold‑atom experiments. The instrument must meet stringent vacuum, magnetic‑field, and electric‑field specifications, include a pre‑installation test with a room‑temperature ^87Rb atomic flux, and provide detailed field‑characterization data. The contract also calls for delivery, installation, unloading, and on‑site training for a technician. Bidders must submit a complete technical proposal, vendor information form, warranty and service‑level details, and certify compliance with WCAG 2.1 AA for any digital deliverables. The solicitation is open electronically via the ShopUW+ JAGGAER portal, with a closing deadline of 30 Oct 2026 2:00 PM CT. • Supply and install a UHV electron microscope compatible with ultra‑cold‑atom experiments. • Perform factory‑acceptance testing and on‑site verification of magnetic and electric field limits (‑0.3 V/cm, >100 mG). • Provide delivery, installation, customs‑duty estimation (DAP), and on‑site technician training; include warranty and optional post‑warranty service agreement.
