Sources Sought Wavelength Meter

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Acquisition Management Division is issuing a Sources‑Sought notice to identify firms—large and small—that can supply a Wavelength Meter meeting the attached specifications (NAICS 334516, Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing). This market‑research effort is not a solicitation for quotes; no pricing will be considered. Respondents must submit a capability statement (max 4 pages) to Contract Specialist Lisa Stevens at lisa.stevens@nist.gov no later than 31 July 2026, 11:00 ET, and must include: (1) the supplying company’s name, (2) the manufacturer’s name, (3) the country of origin/manufacture, (4) spec/data sheets and product examples demonstrating compliance, (5) typical lead time, and (6) any additional relevant information. If at least two qualified small businesses are identified, the eventual procurement may be set aside for small businesses, but NIST is seeking responses from all responsible sources. Delivery, installation, and training must be completed within 16‑18 weeks after order receipt; no early deliveries are acceptable. The notice is draft only, does not obligate the Government to award a contract, and no compensation will be provided for information submitted.
