Combined Sources Sought Notice and Combined Notice of Intent to Sole Source for Integrated Superconducting Magnet Power System

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has issued a combined Sources Sought Notice and Notice of Intent to Sole Source (Solicitation NIST‑SS26‑113) to conduct market research for an Integrated Superconducting Magnet Power System. Respondents must be active in SAM and provide their company’s full name, address, primary contact information, and Unique Entity ID (UEI). The response, limited to 10 pages (including attachments) and submitted in Microsoft Word 365, Excel 365, or PDF format via email to the primary point of contact, Nina Lin (nina.lin@nist.gov), must identify the equipment the vendor can supply to meet the background objectives, including manufacturer name, model number, technical specifications, performance capabilities, customization limits, and any additional features that could assist NIST. Vendors must also detail reseller status (if applicable), standard terms and conditions, pricing or discount information, availability on Federal Supply Schedules, relevant contract numbers, and provide references to public or private sector customers with contact details. The submission must also address several market‑research questions: whether NIST should provide additional information, interest in meeting with NIST representatives, the country of manufacture and any planned changes to manufacturing location, small‑business status under NAICS 334516 (or an alternative NAICS code if more appropriate), and descriptions of associated services such as installation, training, and maintenance, as well as warranty terms. Responses are for research only and do not constitute a solicitation or guarantee of award; NIST reserves the right to use the information for any lawful purpose. The deadline for responses is 15:30 hours on 8 May 2026.
