The statutory authority for this acquisition is 41 USC 3304(a)(1); FAR 13.106-1(b).
  The CHIPS R&D Program-s mission is to advance the development of semiconductor technologies and to enhance the competitiveness of the U.S. semiconductor industry. The Electron-Solid Interactions Project contributes to the mission by developing and validating physics-based models of electron-solid interactions. Good models improve the accuracy of quantitative interpretations of data acquired by SEMs and other electron-beam-based measurement tools. The work takes place within NIST-s Physical Measurement Laboratory, Microsystems and Nanotechnology Division, which has the mission of advancing the state of the art in nanofabrication, enabling the transfer of NIST measurement technologies to the industrial, academic, and government communities. A comprehensive market survey was conducted to discover vendors capable of providing the required maintenance services for the above referenced SEM. The goal of this procurement is for the S5500 to remain operational 24 hours per day and 7 days per week during the agreement period while meeting or exceeding the manufacturer-s rated performance specifications.
