NIST-SS26-CHIPS-119 6641 / 811210 Primary POC: Liz Timberlake (Elizabeth.timberlake@nist.gov) Secondary POC: Tracy Retterer (tracy.retterer@nist.gov) Title: Maintenance for KM Labs EUV HHG Laser System BACKGROUND ***THIS IS A NOTICE OF INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE*** The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is seeking information from sources that may be capable of providing maintenance services for existing KM Labs Pantheon EUV HHG Laser System. If no alternate sources are identified, the Government intends to issue a Sole Source KM Labs (4775 Walnut St., Suite 102, Boulder, CO 80301) under the authority of FAR RFO 12.102(a) only one reasonably found source. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 881210. NIST has a need for maintenance services that meets or exceeds the following draft minimum specifications: The Nanoscale Device Characterization Division (NDCD) develops and advances the measurement and knowledge infrastructure to characterize nano- and atom-scale engineered materials and solid-state devices for innovation in information processing, sensing, and future quantum technologies. To meet mission requirements, the NDCD requires proper and reliable operation of a commercial extreme ultra-violet (EUV) high-harmonic generation (HHG) source to meet the research and calibration needs of the Division. The preventive maintenance visit will enable the instrument to be serviced and replacement of parts prior to failure. The Contractor shall perform the following services for the NIST-owned KMLabs “Pantheon” extreme ultra-violet high-harmonic generation (EUV HHG) system through the period of performance, and maintenance shall include one scheduled preventive maintenance visit during the period of performance and non-warranty repair visits during regular business hours as requested. The Contractor shall repair/replace parts required for the operation of the KMLabs “Pantheon” EUV HHG system. NIST conducted market research from September through November of 2025 by attending conferences, speaking with colleagues, performing internet searches, and speaking with vendors to determine what sources could meet NIST's minimum requirements. The results of that market research revealed that only KM Labs appears to be capable of meeting NIST's requirements.
