- Description
- The National Institute of Standards & Technology (NIST) seeks information on vendors that are capable of providing a time digitizer. The NIST Center for Neutron Research seeks to upgrade the data acquisition system for the high-resolution neutron detector on the very Small Angle Neutron Spectrometer (vSANS). The facility has a need to timestamp events from each of these detectors. NIST requires a multiple-event time digitizer device that will allow adding timestamping capability to the high-resolution detector. The purpose of this notice is to identify organizations capable of providing the necessary items and meeting the minimum contractor qualifications. Technical Specifications Number of start inputs: 1 minimum Number of stop inputs: 5 minimum Minimum time resolution: 100 ps Counting rate: 1MHz minimum Hardware Interface: USB/Ethernet preferred Software Interface: Windows API/DLL Zero dead time to allow for pulse width measurement (minimum width 1ns) Input electrical range: -2V to 3V, 50 Ohm terminated This announcement is not a Request for Proposals or Quotes (RFP/RFQ) and does not commit the Government to award a contract now or in the future. The information contained in this notice is DRAFT only and as such, is subject to change prior to issuance of a solicitation. No solicitation is available at this time. After results of this market research are obtained and analyzed, NIST may conduct a competitive or non-competitive procurement and subsequently award a contract. NIST will use the results of this sources sought notice to determine whether to proceed on a sole source basis or competitively if it is determined that other vendors could potentially meet NIST's needs. This requirement is assigned a NAICS code of 334515 with a small business size standard of 750 employees. Interested business organizations that believe they are capable of meeting the requirement shall submit electronic copies of their capability statement. Please limit responses to four (4) pages or less. Responses shall include the following information: 1. Name of company that will provide product. 2. Name of company that will manufacture the product. 3. Spec sheets and examples of products that meet the specifications. 4. Typical lead time to deliver the product after receipt of order. 5. Any other relevant information that is not listed above which the Government shall consider in developing its minimum specifications and finalizing its market research. Any proprietary information shall be so marked. The written capability statement shall be received by the Contract Specialist, Angela Hitt by email at Angela.Hitt@nist.gov no later than 1 p.m. MT, Friday, July 14, 2023. The capability statement shall identify the business status of the organization. No quotes will be accepted at this time and will not be considered.
