Request for Information / Sources Sought Notice for Providers/Suppliers of a Field deployable X-Ray Diffraction System

NIST is conducting market research to identify qualified sources that can supply a portable, field‑deployable X‑ray diffraction (XRD) system capable of multiaxial stress measurement (axial, shear, and transverse) on iron and steel. The required system must be usable indoors and outdoors, include protective pack‑out, mounting hardware for horizontal and vertical surfaces, radiation shielding, and be able to export raw intensity versus two‑theta (or equivalent) data. The requirement includes delivery, installation, training, and on‑site verification that transportation and installation cause no damage or misalignment. Respondents must indicate U.S. manufacturing content, NAICS 334516 size status, active SAM registration, and any existing GSA MAS or other federal contract vehicles. Responses are limited to five pages (excluding cover page and pricing sections) and must be submitted in Microsoft Word or PDF to the listed NIST points of contact by 16:00 ET on 17 April 2026. The submission must include company information, point‑of‑contact details, size status, and confirmation of the above capabilities; proprietary or classified information is prohibited. This Sources‑Sought notice is for market research only and does not constitute a solicitation or obligate NIST to award a contract.
