NIST seeks phase grating roll alignment system for cold neutron imaging upgrade.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) seeks to procure a Phase Grating Roll Alignment System as an upgrade to its Cold Neutron Imaging Instrument. The system must include a motorized rotation stage, controller, and software for precise alignment of phase gratings. Key requirements include compatibility with existing NIST equipment, sub-microradian angular resolution, and remote operation capability. The contract is set aside for small businesses under NAICS 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing). The period of performance is 120 days after award. This is a firm-fixed-price solicitation with a base period of one year.
