In the absence of such identification, NIST will assume to have unlimited rights to all technical data in the information paper. NO SOLICITATION DOCUMENTS EXIST AT THIS TIME . Requirement: NIST is seeking information on contractors who can potentially provide the following: Modernize the console, cryoplatform, cryoprobe, and corresponding electronics of its Bruker 600MHz and 900 MHz NMR systems. The current components of the NMR system are beyond end-of-life and no longer supported. In order to maintain world-class measurement capabilities in support of the biomanufacturing program, the current system needs a full upgrade. SPECIFICATIONS The NMR consoles, cryoplatforms, cryoprobes, room temperature probe, and corresponding electronics must be able to interface directly with the existing Bruker 600MHz and 900 MHz NMR systems. All components must be able to be controlled by the Bruker-specific software, Topspin 5.0 or greater. The existing magnets are as follows: 900 MHz: Magnet BR081090271; Part # M10902 ECL00 600 MHz: Magnet BZH 84/600/70A D 262/54 – 3321; Part # Z54238 Interested parties shall describe the capabilities of their organization as it relates to the product described above. NIST anticipates issuing a Request for Quotation in the third quarter of FY26 and awarding a contract no later than the fourth quarter of FY26. NIST is seeking responses from all responsible sources, including large and small businesses. The small business size standard associated with the NAICS code for this effort, 334516 Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing; size standard 1,000 employees. Please include your company's size classification and socio-economic status in any response to this notice. …
