Sources Sought Notice for Graphite Furnace Atomic Absorption Spectrometer Notice ID: NIST-MML-FY27-SS01 Response Date: 11/28/2026 Product Service Code (PSC): 6640 NAICS Code: 334516 Background The Inorganic Chemical Metrology Group (ICMG) uses at least two measurement methods, each based on orthogonal physical principles, to certify the trace elements in candidate standard reference materials (SRM). These SRMs are intended for method validation and quality assurance in trace-element measurements to assess the nutritional value and contaminant status of agricultural products. A sensitive trace-element detector, a graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometer (GFAAS) is sought to complement the group's inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometric (ICP-MS) measurement capability and fulfill the two independent method requirements for SRM development. Consideration will be given to GFAAS capable of direct solid-sample analysis to maximize its orthogonality relative to the liquid-sampling-based ICP-MS technique. Minimum Capabilities that NIST Requires and for Which Information is Being Requested The National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) located in Gaithersburg, MD is seeking information on vendors that are capable of providing a graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometer (1) capable of measuring liquid test samples with an instrument detection limit (DL) for Cu at 0.02 µg/L or better (324.8 nm line, 50 µL sample volume, DL=3 x standard deviation of 10 replications) and (2) designed for direct introduction of solid state test samples into the graphite furnace for analyte quantification without a need of sample digestion Instructions for Responding to This Notice Parties that respond to this Notice are requested to submit the requested information via email in Microsoft Word, Adobe PDF, and/or Microsoft Excel format to the designated point(s) of contact whose name and email address appears at the bottom of this notice. Please provide only the information requested by this Notice, and do not include proprietary, classified, confidential, or sensitive information in a response to this Notice. The Government reserves the right to use information that it receives in response to this Notice as it deems appropriate to establish final requirements or for other legally appropriate purposes. Information Requested in Response to This Notice: To help NIST with its market research, NIST is requesting that industry sources carefully review this notice and any attachments to it and voluntarily provide the following information: Company Summary Notice Identification: Notice ID and Title of this posting. Corporate Details: Company name, physical address, website address, and Unique Entity Identifier (UEI). Point of Contact (POC): Name, phone number, and email address. Company Size Standard: Your company’s size status relative to the NAICS code provided in this Notice. (Refer to the SBA Table of Small Business Size Standards). System for Award Management (SAM) Registration: Indicate whether your company has an active registration for procurement purposes in SAM.gov. Review the information included with this Notice, indicate whether there is anything that may inadvertently exclude domestically manufactured (made in the U.S.A.) end products from being considered; and indicate if anything included with this Notice could potentially be revised to improve the ability for domestic (“Made in America”) end products to be considered; and if a domestic end product is not currently available to meet the draft requirements/minimum specifications, please provide an estimated timeframe for when it may be domestically produced in the USA in the future if that appears to be likely. Information Regarding Commercial Products and Related Commercial Services Provide specifications, company name of the original equipment manufacturer, and the country of manufacture for commercial products and/or commercial services that your company is legally…
