Description

Background and Purpose

McMaster University and the Canadian Centre for Electron Microscopy (CCEM) have a requirement for a liquid helium cooled sample stage upgrade for their Nion HERMES™ scanning transmission electron microscope.
Breakthrough analysis in such phenomena as superconductivity, phonon-plasmon damping, and surface diffusion in nanoscale and advanced materials (e.g. quantum materials, photonic, electronic materials) require local spectroscopic probes and instrumentation that enables cooling down to liquid-helium temperature. Furthermore, to be effective in an ultrahigh resolution electron microscope, there is also the need for extreme stability down to this temperature range. Cooling stages of this kind currently are not available for purchase, and such performance targets can only be met by designing a new dedicated sample cooling stage built into the microscope itself.
The purpose of this Advance Contract Award Notice (ACAN) is to signal McMaster University’s intention to award a contract for the above-noted goods and/or services to the following pre-selected supplier:

Nion Co.
11511 NE 118th St.
Kirkland, WA 98034
USA

Website: www.nion.com

Prior to awarding this contract, McMaster University is providing other potential suppliers with the opportunity to demonstrate that they are capable of satisfying the requirements as per this ACAN, by submitting a Statement of Capabilities Form during the posting period.

If other potential suppliers submit a Statement of Capabilities Form that meet McMaster University’s requirements as set out in the ACAN, McMaster University may proceed to a competitive procurement process.

If no other supplier submits a Statement of Capabilities Form on or before the closing date/time, a contract may be awarded to the above-noted pre-selected supplier.
