Description

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is seeking information from sources capable of providing vacuum compatible reflective microscope objectives and optomechanical components for an optical microscope assembly. The assembly is intended for measuring the visible light output of scintillator samples. The requirements include a wavelength range of 350 nm to 800 nm, vacuum compatibility of 10-6 Torr or better, and a numerical aperture of 0.3. Respondents should provide information on their company, the equipment they can offer, technical specifications, and any relevant experience or capabilities. • The equipment must meet specific technical specifications, including vacuum compatibility and wavelength range. • Respondents should describe their company and its capabilities. • Information on similar projects or experience is desirable. • NIST may use the information gathered for market research purposes and to potentially issue a solicitation in the future.

Budget estimate

$100,000 – $500,000

Given the specialized nature of the equipment and the fact that NIST is a federal agency, the budget could potentially range widely. However, considering the procurement involves specific, high-precision laboratory equipment, a reasonable estimate might place the budget between $100,000 and $500,000. This estimate is based on the assumption that the procurement involves a limited quantity of high-value items, such as the vacuum compatible reflective microscope objectives and associated optomechanical hardware. Factors influencing this estimate include the complexity of the equipment, the quantities required, and the standards of precision and durability needed for NIST's research purposes.
