    Description

    The Department of Commerce, specifically the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), is seeking potential sources for two scientific CMOS cameras through a sources sought notice (NIST-SS26-CHIPS-24). These cameras are integral to the Digital Twins for Atomic Layer Deposition Processes Project, aimed at developing and validating digital twin models for atomic layer deposition processes by enabling high-sensitivity and high-speed absorption tomographic measurements. Key technical specifications include a back-illuminated scientific CMOS sensor, high quantum efficiency, global shutter capability, and a minimum frame readout rate of 100 frames per second. Interested vendors should submit their responses, including company information and product details, by December 15, 2025, to Elizabeth Timberlake at elizabeth.timberlake@nist.gov or Donald Collie at donald.collie@nist.gov, with submissions not exceeding 20 pages.

    NIST has issued a sources sought notice, NIST-SS26-CHIPS-24, for market research to identify potential sources for two scientific CMOS cameras. These cameras are crucial for the Digital Twins for Atomic Layer Deposition Processes Project (5.05) to develop and validate digital twin models for ALD processes. The cameras will enable high-sensitivity and high-speed absorption tomographic measurements across the ultraviolet to visible spectral region, quantifying precursor chemical concentrations in an ALD chamber. Key technical requirements include a back-illuminated scientific CMOS sensor with specific size and pixel format, high quantum efficiency across various wavelengths, a global shutter, high frame readout rates (>= 100 fps), low noise, and a C-mount optical mount. Responses should include company information, product details, technical specifications, customization capabilities, manufacturing location, NAICS code status, available services, pricing, and federal contract availability. The deadline for responses is December 15, 2025, and submissions should not exceed 20 pages.
