Sources Sought Notice for NMR Gaussmeter
NIST is conducting market research to identify sources capable of supplying a standalone, SI-traceable gaussmeter operating on proton nuclear magnetic resonance. The instrument must meet strict technical requirements, including precision below 0.01 ppm at 1.5 T, accuracy within ±5 ppm independent of temperature, a frequency range of at least 1 MHz to 1 GHz, and an interchangeable probe head covering 200–500 mT with a remote passive head sized to fit 1.5 mm x 9.5 mm. Interested vendors are asked to submit detailed capability information, including product specifications, company details, SAM registration status, business size, pricing, and related terms, with responses limited to 10 pages. This notice is for market research only and does not obligate NIST to issue a solicitation or award a contract. No budget amount or performance location has been specified.
