Notice description

Source text reproduced without an AI summary.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Dimensional Metrology Group (DMG), located in Gaithersburg, MD, delivers world class dimensional calibration services to support United States manufacturing and other industries. Of particular importance is the calibration of spheres, which serve as reference objects to universal length measuring machines and coordinate measurement machines used internally at NIST and by customers. The NIST DMG is seeking a camera-based Fizeau interferometer to replace ageing equipment responsible for the calibration of the diameter of spheres. A description of the existing equipment and its operation can be found here: https://www.nist.gov/publications/sphere-diameter-interferometry-nanometer-uncertainty.

Sources and method

Figures on this page are computed from public federal award records. Numbers are never estimated or generated; where a figure is withheld, the reason is stated rather than filled in.

Comparable awards are scored on benchmark category, product and service code, industry code, buyer, place, recency, and contract type. Rubric version comparables@2026.08.1.

  1. 1Notice fields come from the SAM.gov contract opportunities record last seen Sep 5, 2026. SAM.gov remains authoritative.
  2. 2Computed from 50 completed federal awards using comparables@2026.08.1, as of Aug 17, 2026. Award values are neither unit prices nor a forecast.

Note 1 covers the solicitation record; note 2 covers the comparable range. No synthetic FAQ or inferred solicitation value is published.
