The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) seeks a replacement silane delivery system for its Boulder Micro-Fabrication Facility in Boulder, CO, due to the existing system reaching end of life. The required system must be compatible with NIST’s existing Ciphercon toxic gas monitoring platform to ensure safety and operational consistency. NIST intends to issue a sole source award to CVD Equipment Corporation, as market research from March through May 2026 identified no other sources capable of meeting the requirements. Responses to this sources sought notice are requested as soon as possible, preferably before the closing date, to help determine if alternative sources exist. No budget amount is specified in the notice.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) seeks a replacement silane delivery system for its Boulder Micro-Fabrication Facility in Boulder, CO, as the current system has reached end of life. The new system must be compatible with existing life safety equipment, including the toxic gas monitoring system and Ciphercon platform, to ensure safe operation. NIST intends to sole source this requirement to CVD Equipment Corporation, as market research conducted from March through May 2026 identified no other capable sources. No budget amount or submission timeline is specified in this sources sought notice. This notice is for market research only and does not constitute a solicitation or commitment to award a contract.
