THE INTENT OF THIS NOTICE IS TO IDENTIFY BUSINESSES, ESPECIALLY SMALL BUSINESS (SB) CONCERNS, CONCERNS CAPABLE OF PERFORMING THE REQUIREMENTS DESCRIBED BELOW. The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) requires a custom metal-organic chemical vapor deposition system (MOCVD) for the growth of single- to few-monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides and their heterostructures, such as MX2 (M = Mo, W; X = S, Se) and other 2D materials, on epitaxial graphene films on SiC substrates. The system must provide substrate temperatures of up to 1500 C for a 3 inch diameter sample, a sample load lock to isolate the growth chamber from atmosphere, and operating growth pressures of 100 m T to 760T. The system must provide for the controlled delivery of source precursors in the form of gases ( H2S, H2Se, WF6 ), high vapor pressure liquids ((C2H5)2S and (C2H5)2Se ), and high vapor pressure solids ( W(CO)6 and Mo(CO)6 ). The system must operate both in the conventional CVD mode as well as an atomic-layer-deposition (ALD) mode. The system must include all hardware and software for the operation of the system, the safe handling of source materials (e.g. gas safety cabinets and alarms), and abatement of exhaust gases. The associated North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code for this procurement is 333994, with a small business size standard of 500 employees. The associated Federal Supply Code (FSC) / Product Service Code (PSC) procurement is 4430.

(d) A summary of the vendor's ability to manufacture the items above and the location of manufacture. (e) Evidence of three (3) recent experiences in work similar in type and scope to include contract numbers, project titles, dollar amounts, percent of work performed, description of work performed, and points of contact with current telephone numbers. (f) A statement regarding small business designation and status (if applicable) and provide a copy of the certificate issued by the SBA of your qualifications as a HUBZone Small Business or 8(a) firm (if applicable), (g) Any other pertinent company documentation, such as teaming/joint-venture agreements, etc. THIS SOURCES SOUGHT SYNOPSIS IS NOT A SOLICITATION.
