NIST seeks a cryogenic nano positioner for sub-nanometer precision at low temperatures.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) seeks to procure a cryogenic nano positioner for use in Boulder, Colorado. The positioner must operate at temperatures below 10 K, provide sub-nanometer resolution, and have at least three axes of motion. NIST requires delivery within 12 weeks of award. This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for a commercial item under NAICS 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing). No specific certifications or set-asides are mentioned. The contract value is not disclosed.
