    Description

    The Department of Commerce, specifically the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), has issued a Sources Sought Notice (NIST-SS26-CHIPS-23) to identify potential sources for a mid-infrared camera and associated lenses. This equipment is critical for the Digital Twins for Atomic Layer Deposition Processes Project, which aims to develop and validate digital twin models for atomic layer deposition processes, requiring high sensitivity and rapid imaging capabilities across the mid-infrared spectral region. Interested vendors are requested to provide detailed company information, product specifications, customization capabilities, and pricing by December 15, 2025, to assist in market research for this procurement. For further inquiries, respondents may contact Elizabeth Timberlake at elizabeth.timberlake@nist.gov or Donald Collie at donald.collie@nist.gov.

    NIST has issued a sources sought notice, NIST-SS26-CHIPS-23, to identify potential sources for a mid-infrared camera and associated lenses. This equipment is crucial for the Digital Twins for Atomic Layer Deposition Processes Project (5.05), which aims to develop and validate digital twin models for ALD processes. The camera and lenses will be used for in situ optical diagnostics to quantify precursor chemical concentrations, requiring high sensitivity, large depth of field, and high-speed absorption imaging across the mid-IR spectral region. Key technical requirements include a quantum strained layer superlattice (SLS) sensor with specific pixel format, dimensions, well capacity, and frame rate. The notice also details specifications for both mid-wave IR and long-wave IR lenses, emphasizing compatibility with the camera. Respondents are requested to provide company information, product details, technical specifications, customization capabilities, manufacturing location, NAICS code status, available services, terms and conditions, pricing, federal contract information, customer references, and any additional valuable information by December 15, 2025. This is a market research notice and not a commitment to a solicitation or contract award.
