High throughput multimodal surface characterization tool

The U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory seeks a high throughput multimodal surface characterization tool for materials research. The tool must integrate multiple surface analysis techniques (e.g., XPS, AES, SIMS) with automated sample handling for high-throughput operation. The buyer is a DOE contractor serving national laboratory research needs. No specific certifications or set-asides are mentioned; the solicitation is open to all qualified vendors. The scale is a single instrument procurement, likely in the $100k-$1M range based on typical lab equipment costs.
