## Description

**FBO ANNOUNCEMENT:**

**PRE-SOLICITATION NOTICE, NOTICE OF INTENT ACTION CODE:**

**SPECIAL NOTICE CLASSIFICATION CODE:**

**J – Maintenance, Repair, and Rebuilding Equipment SUBJECT:**

**Environmental Transmission Electron Microscope Service SOLICITATION NUMBER:**

**NB642000-25-00465 RESPONSE TIME:** 15 days after posting The National Institute of Standards & Technology (NIST) intends to negotiate, a sole source contract, under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b), with Thermo Fisher Scientific (FEI), located in Hillsboro, Oregon for an agreement to maintain and service an Environmental Transmission Electron Microscope (ETEM). Sole Source Justification is as follows:

The Materials Science and Engineering Division requires preventative maintenance and emergency repair for a Titan 80-300 kV ETEM. The instrument is used to support techniques for measuring the structure and properties of nanoscale materials in working conditions. This is achieved using in situ high-resolution imaging, diffraction, and chemical analysis techniques, such as electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), under reactive environments in an ETEM.
