The laboratory supports the NIST mission by serving as the national reference laboratory for measurements in the chemical, biological and material sciences. Our activities range from fundamental and applied research on the composition, structure and properties of industrial, biological and environmental materials and processes, to the development and dissemination of tools including reference measurement procedures, certified reference materials, critically evaluated data, and best practice guides that help assure measurement quality. This research and measurement services support areas which include innovative nanoscale research which is of national importance. This group utilizes a JEOL 7800 Scanning Electron Microscope which requires maintenance and repair. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) intends to negotiate on a sole source basis, under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b) (1), with the Jeol USA, Inc located in Peabody, MA, for maintenance of this equipment.
