The National Institute of Standards & Technology (NIST) seeks information on vendors that are capable of providing a precision measurement instrument for taking current-voltage (IV) characteristics of samples with up to four terminals. The instrument should therefore have four source-measure units that can be swept in DC, have simple pulsing IV, adjustable sweep rates, and voltage capability up to 100 V. Additionally, NIST requires This instrument should also be compatible with other experiments and measurement capabilities across NIST, especially projects in the Advanced Electronics Group, to facilitate seamless measurements across a minimum of 8 probe stations either existing or planned for use in the labs in building 216. In addition to technical requirements, the instrument will need to be self-contained, fit on a standard instrument cart, and have user friendly software to facilitate moving between projects and lab spaces. The purpose of this notice is to identify organizations capable of providing the necessary items and meeting the minimum contractor qualifications. This announcement is not a Request for Proposals or Quotes (RFP/RFQ) and does not commit the Government to award a contract now or in the future.
