Fabrication of Custom Micropillar Arrays

Dissolve the SB Set Aside for Full and Open Competition SOLICITATION 1333ND26QNB640352 Fabrication of Custom Micropillar Arrays This is a solicitation for commercial supplies prepared in accordance with the format in RFO Subpart 12.2, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotations are being requested, and a separate written solicitation document will not be issued. This solicitation is a Request for Quotation (RFQ). The associated North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code for this procurement is 541713 � Research and Development in Nanotechnology with a Small Business Size standard of 1,000 employees. This requirement will be competed as a Total Small Business Set-Aside. The Material Measurement Laboratory (MML) at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is looking to develop reference materials for measuring the phosphorus concentration in silicon using Atom Probe Tomography (APT) and other complementary measurement techniques. These materials will be most useful to analysts if provided as pre-sharpened micropillar arrays that are directly compatible with modern atom probe instruments.
