NIST seeks portable XRD system for field analysis.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) seeks to procure a field-deployable X-ray diffraction (XRD) system for its Gaithersburg, MD facility. The system must be capable of analyzing geological and material samples in remote or field settings, with specific requirements for portability, battery operation, and data analysis software. Offerors must demonstrate experience in manufacturing similar portable XRD systems and provide evidence of compliance with applicable safety and performance standards. The contract is expected to be a firm-fixed-price purchase with delivery within 90 days after award.
