Sources Sought Benchtop EPR/ESR Spectrometer

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Acquisition Management Division is issuing a Sources‑Sought notice to conduct market research for a benchtop EPR/ESR spectrometer. This is not a request for quotation or proposal; NIST seeks capability statements from all qualified firms—large and small—to determine potential sources and whether a small‑business set‑aside is appropriate. Respondents must submit an electronic capability statement of four pages or less to Contract Specialist Angela Hitt (angela.hitt@nist.gov) by 11:00 a.m. on 26 June 2026. Required information includes the name of the supplying and manufacturing companies, the country of manufacture, product data sheets or examples that meet the attached specifications, typical lead time, and any other relevant details to aid NIST’s minimum specifications and market research. The solicitation will be governed by NAICS 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing) with a small‑business size standard of 1,000 employees. NIST will consider both large and small businesses, and if at least two qualified small businesses are identified, the eventual acquisition may be set aside for small businesses. No quotes will be accepted, and the government will not pay for any information submitted.
