Notice of Intent to Sole Source Effusion Gallium Cell

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is seeking to purchase a gallium effusion cell, similar to the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) part, compatible with the Veeco GEN10 MBE system. The cell is required to be equipped with Dual Filament “HotLip” heating technology to prevent condensation at the crucible orifice. The purchase is intended to be a sole source acquisition, with Veeco Process Equipment, Inc. being the intended supplier. • The gallium effusion cell is required for the Quantum Nanophotonics group's Veeco MBE tool for epitaxial growth of high-quality, group III-V, semiconductor materials. • The cell must be a replacement for an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) gallium effusion cell, compatible with Veeco GEN10 MBE systems. • The cell is required to be equipped with Dual Filament “HotLip” heating technology to prevent condensation at the crucible orifice. • The purchase is intended to be a sole source acquisition, with Veeco Process Equipment, Inc. being the intended supplier.
