This is a solicitation for an Ultra High Vacuum Sample Backout Chamber, where the government is seeking a vendor-designed system that meets specific performance specifications rather than a pre-defined design. The government will verify a key partial pressure specification in its own lab and emphasizes the system must be delivered UHV-clean to handle higher mass contaminants. A cylindrical chamber is acceptable as an alternative to a cube or sphere, provided it meets the opening dimension and port requirements. The chamber must accommodate a variety of sample sizes and shapes.
