The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is seeking information for a laser confocal microscope to support the CHIPS Metrology program for imaging photonic integrated circuits and measuring device dimensions and roughness. The system must support multiple imaging modalities (laser confocal, white light interferometry, depth-from-focus, brightfield), automated measurement and programmable measurement of an entire 100 mm wafer, and include a high-resolution camera and motorized stage. This notice is a combined Sources Sought / Notice of Intent to Sole Source (Solicitation ID: NIST-SS26-CHIPS-61) posted with an open date of 2026-01-14 and a close date of 2026-01-26.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) issued a Combined Sources Sought/Notice of Intent to Sole Source for a research-grade Fourier-Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectrometer to support CHIPS R&D and to measure stability and failure mechanisms of chip-based biosensors. The solicitation (NIST-SS26-CHIPS-60) specifies detailed hardware and software requirements including a spectral range of 8,000–350 cm^-1, spectral resolution 0.16 cm^-1 or better, wavenumber accuracy 0.005 cm^-1, cryogenic InSb and MCT detectors, a wafer ATR accessory, and LabVIEW/Python programming interfaces; budget estimated at $200,000–$500,000. The opportunity opened 2026-01-14 and closes 2026-01-26 (questions due 2026-01-20), the posting is on SAM.gov, and the point of contact is Tracy Retterer (tracy.retterer@nist.gov).
