Sub-boiling Distiller

Background
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is issuing this solicitation for a sub-boiling distiller to further purify ultrapure water for test material and standards development.

The need arises from the semiconductor manufacturing sector, which requires ongoing risk analysis of cleaning chemical purity. As next-generation chips demand even purer materials, advanced metrological capabilities are necessary to detect, identify, and quantify impurities in cleaning chemicals. The purification of water to ultrapure standards is critical in semiconductor and research applications, where trace contaminants can compromise integrity and affect downstream processes.

Work Details
The contract requires the delivery of one (1) sub-boiling distillation system that meets the following specifications:
- **Line Item 0001**: Sub-boiling distiller
- **Quantity**: 1 Each
- **Description**: The sub-boiling distillation system must be capable of producing ultrapure water with contaminant concentrations reduced to 10 to 100 parts-per-trillion (ppt). All items must be new; used or remanufactured equipment will not be considered. The system must include all original manufacturer’s packaging, documentation, and software as applicable.

Period of Performance
The geographic location(s) the product will be delivered to or performed at

Bidder Requirements
Offerors must possess an active registration in SAM.gov at the time of quotation submission and maintain it until award completion. The contractor must provide a firm-fixed-price quotation for the sub-boiling distiller that meets all technical specifications outlined in the Statement of Work. All components must be new, and gray market components are not authorized for sale in the U.S.
