- Description
- The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Acquisition Management Division, intends to negotiate with Attocube Systems AG, located in Bayern, Germany on a sole source basis under the authority of FAR Subpart 13.106-1(b), soliciting from a single source, for an additional positioning stage for use at 20 mK in a dilution refrigerator with position encoding and closed-loop controllers.� he software for controlling the positioners shall be compatible with the existing system based on Attocube positioners, and the vendor shall provide a software interface that accomplishes this.� This shall be accomplished in accordance with the requirements/specifications document attached herein. Specific Requirements for Cryogenic X-Y-Z Positioner are as follows: X and Y travel range of at least 20 mm. Z travel of at least 4 mm. Position resolution of at least 1 um. Position repeatability of at least 20 um. Non-magnetic materials and non-superdonducing materials down to 500 mK. All materials suitable for use in high vacuum environment. Examples include Ti, brass, oxygen-free copper, and CuBe. If positioner materials become superconducting between 500 mK and 50 mK thermal links that can be anchored to the cold plate should be included in the positioners to assist in dissipating heat. Position encoders on all axes. Positioners and encoders designed to operate to 50 mK. Motion controller, software and cabling: Offers closed-loop position control of cryogenic positioners. Software and interfaces to allow for programmed motion through USB or other common interfaces compatible with Attocube interfaces and commands. Cabling needed to connect controller to positioners. The NAICS Code is 334516 - Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing, with a Size Standard of 1000 employees. NIST anticipates negotiating and awarding a firm-fixed-price purchase order to Attocube Systems AG for this requirement. Interested parties that can demonstrate they could satisfy the requirement 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 09/13/2021. Any questions regarding this notice must be submitted in writing via email to lia.arthofer@nist.gov . All responses to this notice of intent must be submitted to lia.arthofer@nist.gov no later than 09/10/2021 at 3:00 p.m. MST.
