Combined Sources Sought Notice and Notice of Intent to Sole Source for an Electrochemical Analysis System

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is conducting market research to identify potential sources of commercial products/services that satisfy the Government's anticipated needs for an electrochemical analysis system. The system should include a research-grade, multi-channel potentiostat/galvanostat system, a high-current application electrochemical channel, an interface power hub, a rotating electrode, and other components. The system will be used to characterize the thermodynamics and kinetics of selective electrowinning from complex, multi-ion leachates. • The system must meet specific technical requirements, including compliance voltage, maximum continuous current, data acquisition speed, and current resolution. • The system must include pre-licensed control software and various accessories, such as a cell kit, reference electrode, and power cords. • The contractor must provide a two-year standard system assurance plan and warranty for the equipment. • The contractor must also provide installation, training, and maintenance services for the equipment.
