- Description
- The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Acquisition Management Division, intends to negotiate with Attocube Systems AG, located in Germany, on a sole source basis under the authority of FAR Subpart 13.106-1(b), soliciting from a single source, for providing 3-Axis Nanopositioners and a Control Unit. The unique technical specifications are 1. The system must include four 3-axis nanopositioners that can operate at low temperature (down to 4K), are nonmagnetic, can operate in fields up to 5 T, are compatible with high vacuum operation (< 10-8mB), have a minimum step size (for all axes) of less than 50 nm, an actuation distance of 15 mm on x and y, 12 mm on z. 2. The nanopositioners must be directly stackable with a lateral x,y dimension of less than 42 mm by 42 mm and a vertical z-dimension of less than 55 mm unextended and less than 68 mm extended. The form factor must be compatible with the NIST cryogenic probe station design (CAD drawings are available on request). 3. The nanopositioners must be able to move a lateral load of 20 N and a vertical load of at least 2 N. 4. Two of the nanopositioners must have 3-axis high resolution probing capability with continuous positional variation of less than 1 nm and a field of view of greater than 1 micrometer. 5. The system must include a controller or controllers that can simultaneously actuate all four probe systems. 6. The control voltages for all stages must be less than 150 V. No stage power or voltage must be required after the nanopositioners have reached the desired position. The NAICS Code is 334515- Instrument Manufacturing for Measuring and Testing Electricity and Electrical Signals with a Size Standard of 500 employees. NIST anticipates negotiating and awarding a firm-fixed-price purchase order to Attocube Systems AG for this requirement. Interested parties that can demonstrate that they could satisfy the requirements listed above for NIST must clearly and unambiguously identify their capability to do so in writing on or before the response date for this notice. This notice of intent is not a solicitation. Information submitted in response to this notice will be used solely to determine whether competitive procedures could be used for this acquisition. If competitive procedures are not used it is estimated that an award will be issued by 8/10/2015. Any questions regarding this notice must be submitted in writing via email to angela.hitt@nist.gov. All responses to this notice of intent must be submitted so that they are received at angela.hitt@nist.gov no later than August 2, 2015 at 5 p.m. MST.
