- Contracting Office Address: Department of Commerce, National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Acquisition Management Division, 100 Bureau Drive, Building 301, Room B129, Mail Stop 1640, Gaithersburg, MD, 20899-1640 Background: The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) seeks information on commercial vendors that are capable of providing parts, maintenance, and repair services for a 4Wave IBD/BTD ion beam deposition cluster tool to support nanofabrication in the Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology (CNST), NIST's nanotechnology user facility. The cluster tool is sited and used in the CNST NanoFab as a shared resource accessible to researchers from industry, academia, NIST, and other government agencies. After market research results are obtained and analyzed, minimum requirements specifications for the preventative maintenance service contract will be established. NIST may use these established specifications in conducting a competitive procurement and subsequently award a Purchase Order in the future. If a minimum of two (2) qualified small businesses are identified during market research stage, then any resulting competitive procurement may be considered for a small business set-aside. Requirements: NIST is seeking responses from all responsible sources, including large, foreign, and small businesses. Small businesses are defined under the associated NAICS code for this effort, 811219, as those domestic sources having annual receipts not in excess of $20,500,000.00. Please include your company's size classification and socio-economic status in any response to this notice. The 4Wave IBD/BTD ion beam deposition cluster tool consists of two process chambers containing a total of twelve (12) sputtering targets, a robot for the transfer of 200 mm wafers and two cassette elevators. The main service tasks to be performed will involve all parts and labor necessary to perform a comprehensive annual maintenance of the cluster tool. Tasks include rebuilding/replacement and maintenance of ion source grid sets, plasma bridge and hollow cathode neutralizers, RF generator quartz domes, and anode assemblies as well as system testing and qualification. Instruction to Responders: Companies that are capable of providing these parts, maintenance, and repair services for a 4Wave IBD/BTD ion beam deposition cluster tool are requested to email a detailed report describing their abilities to tracy.bisson@nist.gov no later than the response date for this sources sought notice. The report should include achievable specifications and any other information relevant to your product or capabilities. Also, the following information is requested to be provided as part of the response to this sources sought notice: 1.Name of the company(s) that offer the required system maintenance. In addition, provide a point of contact for the company(s). 2.Indication of number of days, after receipt of order that is typical for start of the maintenance. 3.Interested vendors shall address their capability of providing Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) parts. 4.Any other relevant information that is not listed above which the Government should consider in developing its minimum specifications and finalizing its market research.
