The National Institute of Standards and Technology needs a small business to manufacture a field deployable X-ray diffraction system.

Key Details

  • What exactly do they need? The National Institute of Standards and Technology needs a field deployable X-ray diffraction system that can be used to analyze the structure of materials. The system must be able to operate in a variety of environments and must include features such as powered translation and rotation stages.
  • What's the contract structure and timeline? The contract is a Firm-Fixed-Price Purchase Order with a base year and two option years. The delivery schedule is 20 weeks after receipt of order.
  • How will they pick the winner? The Government will evaluate quotations using the tradeoff method, with a mandatory pass-fail criterion based on schedule and a trade-off best value evaluation based on technical capability and price.
  • When and how do you bid? Quotations must be submitted electronically through the System for Award Management (SAM) by July 21, 2026, at 8:00 PM ET.

Routine commodity buy — low-effort bid, modest payoff.
