- Description
- FBO ANNOUNCEMENT: PRESOLICITATION NOTICE, NOTICE OF INTENT ACTION CODE: SPECIAL NOTICE SUBJECT: Sole source procurement of a Current in Plane Magnet. SOLICITATION NUMBER: NB642030-21-01461 RESPONSE DATE: 06/01/2021 DESCRIPTION: The NIST, Materials Science and Engineering Division is involved in the development of manufacturing techniques for high quality ultrathin magnetic films and sensors, with the aim to produce films with precisely tailored thicknesses, well defined interfaces and strong crystalline texture.� This work requires the measurement of the electrical transport properties of the films while applying variable magnetic fields in the horizontal plane of the layers of a film on substrate. The enhancement of the CAPRES CIPTech Current-in-plane-tunneling tester will accomplish this critical infrastructural need by implementation of a drop-in accessory compatible with its control software and hardware for application of static magnetic fields or variable magnetic fields while measuring the electrical transport properties of a magnetic tunnel junction, a type of sensor film comprising two (or more) thin magnetic layers separated by an ultrathin (10-9 meter thick) dielectric layer.��� The required Current in Plane Magnet manufactured by Capres/ KLA of Milpitas, California has been identified and meeting NIST�s requirements. Sole Source justification is based on the following: The instrument and this upgrade are proprietary to Capres A/S which was recently purchased by KLA and no other vendor has the required parts and knowledge to perform this requirement. NAICS code for this requirement will be 334516 � Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing with a small business size of 1000 employees. No solicitation package will be issued. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations; however, interested parties who regard themselves as capable of fulfilling these requirements are invited to submit responses to the Government for consideration. Responses received by 06/01/2021 will be considered by the Government.
