High resolution (<2 nm), 3. Oil-free vacuum system, 4. Fully automated stage, 5. Capable of operating in low vacuum mode, 6. Detector suite: secondary electron imaging (SEI), backscattered electron imaging (BSE), energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDX). Optional requirements may include: 1. Detector suite: cathodoluminescence (CL), electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), wavelength-dispersive spectrometers (WDS), 2. In-chamber micro-manipulation of samples. No solicitation exists; therefore, do not request a copy of the solicitation. If a solicitation is released it will be synopsized in FedBizOpps and on the NASA Acquisition Internet Service. It is the potential offeror?s responsibility to monitor these sites for the release of any solicitation or synopsis.

Prospective offerors are invited to submit written comments or questions to: Kathy Eakle at katherine.l.eakle@nasa.gov. Please advise if the requirement is considered to be a commercial or commercial-type product. A commercial item is defined in FAR 2.101. This synopsis is for information and planning purposes and is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government nor will the Government pay for information solicited.

The Government reserves the right to consider a small business or 8(a) set-aside based on responses hereto.
