Contract Opportunity Analysis

The Department of Commerce, specifically the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), is seeking information regarding the procurement of a Double Channel Keithley Source Measuring Unit (SMU) to enhance its research and development efforts in wide-bandgap semiconductors and 2D materials. The required SMU must feature at least two channels, with capabilities for high-current (5A-10A) and very low-current/voltage (1fA, 100nV) measurements, as well as pulsing capabilities of less than 1ms, and compatibility with existing Keithley lab equipment. This equipment is vital for the electrical characterization of materials, which is essential for correlating material defects with device performance, thereby supporting U.S. National Security interests. Interested parties should contact Junee Johnson at junee.johnson@nist.gov to provide company details, product specifications, and other relevant information, as this is a market research notice and not a solicitation for proposals.

AI Summary
NIST is seeking information on a Double Channel Keithley Source Measuring Unit (SMU) to support its research and development in wide-bandgap semiconductor and 2D materials. This equipment is crucial for electrical characterization to correlate material defects with device performance, aligning with US National Security interests. The required SMU must have at least two channels, capabilities for high-current (5A-10A) and very low-current/voltage (1fA, 100nV) measurements, pulsing capabilities (less than 1ms), and compatibility with existing Keithley lab equipment. Respondents should provide company details, product specifications, customization options, manufacturing location, NAICS code status, available services (installation, training, maintenance), standard terms, pricing, and any existing Federal Supply Schedule contracts. This is a market research notice, not a solicitation, and aims to gather information to inform future procurement decisions.
