    Presolicitation DEPT OF DEFENSE Cryogenics Thermometer and Controller

    The Department of Defense, specifically the Department of the Air Force, is seeking a Cryogenics Thermometer and Controller. This item is typically used for measuring and monitoring temperatures in cryogenic environments. The government requires one Lake Shore Ruthenium Oxide (RuOx) cryogenic thermometer and controller, calibrated from 10 nK to 40 K, to support RITQ's quantum networking research objectives. The thermometer and controller must meet specific requirements such as calibration accuracy, lowest and highest measurable temperatures, measurement reproducibility, heat dissipation, thermal response time, packaging, and monitoring and control capabilities. The government intends to negotiate a sole source contract with Lake Shore Cryotronics, Inc. as they are the only company that can meet the temperature calibration requirement and provide the necessary specifications. Interested parties can submit a capability statement or proposal for consideration. The deadline for responses is specified in the notice, and the government anticipates an award date on or before April 30, 2024.
