These systems are located in a class 100 clean room at the NIST Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology (CNST) NanoFab in Gaithersburg, MD, 20899 and are used as a shared resource accessible to researchers from industry, academia, NIST, and other government agencies. This is a sources sought notice for market research purposes. After results of this market research are obtained and analyzed, and specifications developed, NIST may conduct a competitive procurement and subsequently award a Purchase Order for a five (5) year PM contract, consisting of an initial "base" year plus four option years to be exercised annually. If at least two qualified small businesses are identified during this market research stage, then any competitive procurement that resulted would be conducted as a small business set-aside. The Contractor shall provide factory certified personnel and the necessary tools to perform routine preventive maintenance (PM), emergency services, repair, and calibration for physical vapor deposition systems. The following tools shall be covered by this service contract: a. Two (2) Denton "Discovery 550" sputtering systems. i. Serial No.: 43814 ii. Serial No.: 49064 b. Two Denton "Infinity 22" electron beam evaporators. i. Serial No.: 43813 ii. Serial No.: 43815 c. The covered equipment shall include all integrated system components which shall also include the vacuum systems, electrical systems, deposition controllers, pressure controllers, and software patches and updates. As part of the scheduled routine maintenance services, the Contractor shall perform a minimum of four (4) preventive maintenance procedures on each tool on a quarterly basis during each contract year. As part of unscheduled services (emergency services or repair), the Contractor shall provide phone service within 1 business day and a qualified service engineer on-site within 2 business days in response to a request for unscheduled service. NIST is seeking responses from all responsible sources, including large, foreign, and small businesses.
