Motorized Positioners

This Sources Sought Notice (NIST-SS26-CHIPS-48) is for two motorized linear translation stages – one horizontal and one vertical – for wafer probing systems used to characterize high-frequency microelectronic devices under the CHIPS Act program. The horizontal stage requires 75mm travel and the vertical stage requires 20mm travel, both with a guaranteed minimum incremental movement of 20nm. Key requirements include linear motor drives, crossed-roller bearings, integrated optical encoders, and compatibility with USB-connected PC controllers. Respondents are requested to identify any unduly restrictive requirements, indicate small business status, provide company information (including UEI if available), detail relevant capabilities and past experience with magneto-resistive sensor design and manufacture, and identify any relevant Federal Supply Schedule contracts. Input regarding appropriate NAICS/PSC codes and suggestions for encouraging small business participation are also requested. This is not a request for proposals and no award will be made as a result of this notice.
